Oregon House Majority Office, February 23, 2010
SALEM – The House today passed three health care bills, designed to train home care workers, increase vision screening and expand the Oregon Health Plan to some adult foster children ...
HB 3626 directs Department of Education to establish a pilot program to operate in three school districts to provide vision screenings to students, the goal of which is to provide vision screenings to the greatest number of students possible in grades 1 through 8.
"It is smart public policy to make sure no child in Oregon has a vision problem that keeps them from succeeding in school,” said Representative Tina Kotek (D-N/NE Portland), who carried the bill on the House floor. “This bill is a targeted investment to create the best vision screening model possible to help all children succeed."
