 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,

 4        Section  5.   The  School  Code  is  amended  by changing

 7        Sec. 27-8.1.  Health examinations and immunizations.
 8        (1)  In compliance with rules and regulations  which  the
 9    Department  of  Public Health shall promulgate, and except as
10    hereinafter provided, all children in Illinois shall  have  a
11    health  examination  as  follows:  within  one  year prior to
12    entering kindergarten or  the  first  grade  of  any  public,
13    private,  or  parochial  elementary school; upon entering the
14    fifth and ninth grades of any public, private,  or  parochial
15    school;  prior  to  entrance  into  any  public,  private, or
16    parochial  nursery  school;  and,  irrespective   of   grade,
17    immediately  prior  to  or  upon  entrance  into  any public,
18    private, or parochial school or nursery  school,  each  child
19    shall  present  proof  of  having been examined in accordance
20    with this Section and the rules and  regulations  promulgated
21    hereunder.
22        A tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a
23    required  part of each health examination included under this
24    Section if the child resides in an  area  designated  by  the
25    Department  of  Public  Health  as having a high incidence of
26    tuberculosis.   Additional  health  examinations  of  pupils,
27    including dental and vision  examinations,  may  be  required
28    when  deemed  necessary  by  school authorities.  Parents are
29    encouraged to have their children undergo dental examinations
30    at the same points in time required for health examinations.
31        (2)  The Department of  Public  Health  shall  promulgate
 
SB929 Engrossed             -2-                LRB9207765DHmb
 1    rules   and   regulations  specifying  the  examinations  and
 2    procedures that  constitute  a  health  examination  and  may
 3    recommend  by  rule  that  certain additional examinations be
 4    performed.  The rules and regulations of  the  Department  of
 5    Public  Health  shall  specify  that a tuberculosis skin test
 6    screening shall be included as a required part of each health
 7    examination included under this Section if the child  resides
 8    in  an  area designated by the Department of Public Health as
 9    having a high incidence of tuberculosis.
10        Physicians licensed to practice medicine in  all  of  its
11    branches,   advanced  practice  nurses  who  have  a  written
12    collaborative agreement with a collaborating physician  which
13    authorizes  them to perform health examinations, or physician
14    assistants who have been delegated the performance of  health
15    examinations   by   their   supervising  physician  shall  be
16    responsible for the performance of the  health  examinations,
17    other   than  dental  examinations  and  vision  and  hearing
18    screening, and  shall  sign  all  report  forms  required  by
19    subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to those portions
20    of  the  health examination for which the physician, advanced
21    practice nurse, or physician assistant is responsible.  If  a
22    registered  nurse  performs any part of a health examination,
23    then a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of  its
24    branches  must  review  and  sign  all required report forms.
25    Licensed dentists shall perform all dental  examinations  and
26    shall  sign  all  report  forms required by subsection (4) of
27    this  Section  that  pertain  to  the  dental   examinations.
28    Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches,
29    or  licensed  optometrists,  shall  perform  all vision exams
30    required by school authorities  and  shall  sign  all  report
31    forms required by subsection (4) of this Section that pertain
32    to  the  vision  exam.   Vision  and hearing screening tests,
33    which shall not be considered examinations as  that  term  is
34    used  in  this Section, shall be conducted in accordance with
 
SB929 Engrossed             -3-                LRB9207765DHmb
 1    rules and regulations of the Department of Public Health, and
 2    by individuals whom  the  Department  of  Public  Health  has
 3    certified.
 4        (3)  Every  child  shall, at or about the same time as he
 5    or she receives a health examination required  by  subsection
 6    (1)  of  this  Section,  present to the local school proof of
 7    having  received  such  immunizations   against   preventable
 8    communicable  diseases  as  the  Department  of Public Health
 9    shall require by rules and regulations  promulgated  pursuant
10    to this Section and the Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
11        (4)  The  individuals  conducting  the health examination
12    shall record the fact of having  conducted  the  examination,
13    and such additional information as required, on uniform forms
14    which  the Department of Public Health and the State Board of
15    Education shall prescribe for statewide  use.   The  examiner
16    shall  summarize  on the report form any condition that he or
17    she suspects indicates a  need  for  special  services.   The
18    individuals   confirming   the   administration  of  required
19    immunizations shall record as indicated on the form that  the
20    immunizations were administered.
21        (5)  If  a  child  does  not  submit  proof of having had
22    either  the  health  examination  or  the   immunization   as
23    required,  then  the  child  shall be examined or receive the
24    immunization, as the  case  may  be,  and  present  proof  by
25    October  15 of the current school year, or by an earlier date
26    of the current school year established by a school  district.
27    To  establish  a date before October 15 of the current school
28    year for the health examination or immunization as  required,
29    a  school  district  must  give notice of the requirements of
30    this Section 60 days prior to the earlier  established  date.
31    If   for   medical  reasons  one  or  more  of  the  required
32    immunizations must be given after October 15 of  the  current
33    school  year,  or  after  an  earlier established date of the
34    current school year, then the child shall present, by October
 
SB929 Engrossed             -4-                LRB9207765DHmb
 1    15, or by the earlier established date, a  schedule  for  the
 2    administration  of  the  immunizations and a statement of the
 3    medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and  the
 4    statement  being  issued  by the physician, advanced practice
 5    nurse, physician assistant, registered nurse, or local health
 6    department that will be responsible for administration of the
 7    remaining required immunizations.  If a child does not comply
 8    by October 15, or by the  earlier  established  date  of  the
 9    current   school   year,   with   the  requirements  of  this
10    subsection, then the local  school  authority  shall  exclude
11    that  child from school until such time as the child presents
12    proof of having had the health examination  as  required  and
13    presents    proof   of   having   received   those   required
14    immunizations  which  are  medically  possible   to   receive
15    immediately.   During  a  child's  exclusion  from school for
16    noncompliance with this subsection, the  child's  parents  or
17    legal  guardian  shall  be considered in violation of Section
18    26-1 and subject to any penalty imposed by Section 26-10.
19        (6)  Every school shall report  to  the  State  Board  of
20    Education  by  November  15,  in the manner which that agency
21    shall require, the number of children who have  received  the
22    necessary   immunizations   and  the  health  examination  as
23    required, indicating, of those  who  have  not  received  the
24    immunizations  and  examination  as  required,  the number of
25    children  who  are  exempt  from   health   examination   and
26    immunization  requirements on religious or medical grounds as
27    provided in subsection (8).  This reported information  shall
28    be  provided  to the Department of Public Health by the State
29    Board of Education.
30        (7)  Upon determining that the number of pupils  who  are
31    required  to  be  in  compliance  with subsection (5) of this
32    Section is below 90% of the number of pupils enrolled in  the
33    school  district, 10% of each State aid payment made pursuant
34    to Section 18-8 to the school district for such year shall be
 
SB929 Engrossed             -5-                LRB9207765DHmb
 1    withheld by the regional superintendent until the  number  of
 2    students  in compliance with subsection (5) is the applicable
 3    specified percentage or higher.
 4        (8)  Parents or legal  guardians  who  object  to  health
 5    examinations  or  any  part  thereof, or to immunizations, on
 6    religious grounds shall  not  be  required  to  submit  their
 7    children  or  wards  to  the examinations or immunizations to
 8    which they so object  if  such  parents  or  legal  guardians
 9    present  to  the  appropriate local school authority a signed
10    statement  of  objection,  detailing  the  grounds  for   the
11    objection.   If  the  physical condition of the child is such
12    that any one or more of the immunizing agents should  not  be
13    administered,  the  examining  physician,  advanced  practice
14    nurse, or physician assistant responsible for the performance
15    of  the  health  examination shall endorse that fact upon the
16    health examination form.  Exempting a child from  the  health
17    examination  does  not exempt the child from participation in
18    the  program  of  physical  education  training  provided  in
19    Sections 27-5 through 27-7 of this Code.
20        (9)  For the purposes of this Section, "nursery  schools"
21    means  those  nursery  schools  operated by elementary school
22    systems or secondary level school units  or  institutions  of
23    higher learning.
