Plain-English Summary

This bill would require health insurance plans and Medicaid to cover vision screening tests for children to catch eye problems early, before they affect learning and development. The goal is to make sure kids get their eyes checked regularly so conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and other vision issues are identified and treated promptly, rather than going unnoticed and impacting their school performance.
