The bill proposes an appropriation of two million dollars ($2,000,000) from the general fund to the Public Education Department for the fiscal year 2026. The allocated funds are specifically designated for conducting vision and hearing screenings for students in kindergarten through fourth grade.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2026 will revert back to the general fund, ensuring that unused funds are returned to the state’s budget. This initiative aims to enhance early detection of vision and hearing issues among young students, promoting better educational outcomes.
