House Bill No. by Representative Jordan mandates that all public schools in Louisiana administer trauma screenings to students in grades prekindergarten through twelve each school year. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 17:2111, which outlines this requirement and specifies that the Louisiana Department of Health is responsible for selecting and providing a suitable screening tool to each school board for this purpose.

This legislation aims to address the mental health needs of students by ensuring that trauma screenings are conducted regularly, thereby allowing schools to identify and support students who may be experiencing trauma-related issues. The implementation of these screenings is intended to promote a healthier school environment and improve overall student well-being.
