Mental health and substance use disorder screening.

Summary

The bill would obligate every public school district and charter school in Indiana to create a plan for developmentally appropriate, evidence‑based mental health and substance‑use disorder screenings for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Parents of minors must be notified and give consent, and screening results would be shared with parents or the student, along with resource referrals, while schools could not use the results for academic or disciplinary decisions.
