The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 121A.19, to clarify the payment structure for developmental screening aid provided to school districts. It specifies the amounts of state aid for each child screened, which includes $52 for children screened at ages five or six prior to kindergarten, and $39 for students screened within 30 days after first enrolling in public school kindergarten if they have not been previously screened. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that allows for a transfer of developmental screening aid if a student transfers to another public school kindergarten within 30 days of enrollment and has not been screened.

Furthermore, the bill establishes an effective date for these changes, stating that the new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2024. This legislative update aims to ensure that school districts receive appropriate funding for developmental screenings, thereby supporting early childhood education initiatives in Minnesota.
