The bill establishes a Type 1 diabetes early detection program by creating a new section, 381.992, in the Florida Statutes. It mandates the Department of Health to collaborate with school districts to develop informational materials aimed at parents and guardians of students for the early detection of Type 1 diabetes. These materials must be made available through the department's website and include information on Type 1 diabetes, its risk factors, warning signs, and screening processes. The department is required to develop these materials by July 1, 2025, and ensure that early learning coalitions, school districts, and charter schools notify parents of their availability annually.

Additionally, the bill amends section 1002.53 of the Florida Statutes to require early learning coalitions to notify parents and guardians about the availability of the Type 1 diabetes early detection materials. This notification must occur annually, ensuring that families are informed about the resources available for early detection of the condition. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
