The bill establishes a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 385.2045, focused on the early detection of type 1 diabetes. It mandates the Department of Health to collaborate with local school districts to create informational materials aimed at educating parents and guardians of students about type 1 diabetes. These materials will be accessible through the Department's website for all school districts and charter schools. The content of the materials will include descriptions of type 1 diabetes, associated risk factors, warning signs, and the screening process for early detection using a blood autoantibody test. Additionally, it will recommend further evaluation for students who show warning signs or receive positive screening results.

The bill also sets a deadline for the Department of Health to develop these materials and a standardized methodology by October 1, 2025. This methodology will ensure that first graders' parents and guardians receive the instructional materials within 30 days of the start of each school year. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
