    AN ACT concerning State government.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly: 




 
    Section 5. The School Code is amended  by changing Sections 
27-8.1 and 27A-5 as follows:
 
    (105 ILCS 5/27-8.1)  (from Ch. 122, par. 27-8.1)
    Sec. 27-8.1. Health examinations and immunizations. 
    (1) In compliance with rules and regulations which the 
Department of Public
Health shall promulgate, and except as 
hereinafter provided, all children in
Illinois shall have a 
health examination as follows: within one year prior to

entering kindergarten or the first grade of any public, 
private, or parochial
elementary school; upon entering the 
sixth and ninth grades of any public,
private, or parochial 
school; prior to entrance into any public, private, or

parochial nursery school; and, irrespective of grade, 
immediately prior to or
upon entrance into any public, private, 
or parochial school or nursery school,
each child shall present 
proof of having been examined in accordance with this
Section 
and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. Any child 
who received a health examination within one year prior to 
entering the fifth grade for the 2007-2008 school year is not 
required to receive an additional health examination in order 
to comply with the provisions of Public Act 95-422 when he or 
she attends school for the 2008-2009 school year, unless the 
child is attending school for the first time as provided in 
this paragraph. 
    A tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a 
required part of
each health examination included under this 
Section if the child resides in an
area designated by the 
Department of Public Health as having a high incidence
of 
tuberculosis.  Additional health examinations of pupils, 
including eye examinations, may be required when deemed 
necessary by school
authorities.  Parents are encouraged to have 
their children undergo eye examinations at the same points in 
time required for health
examinations.
    (1.5)  In compliance with rules adopted by the Department of 
Public Health and except as otherwise provided in this Section, 
all children in kindergarten and the second and sixth grades of 
any public, private, or parochial school shall have a dental 
examination.  Each of these children shall present proof of 
having been examined by a dentist in accordance with this 
Section and rules adopted under this Section before May 15th of 
the school year.  If a child in the second or sixth grade fails 
to present proof by May 15th, the school may hold the child's 
report card until one of the following occurs:  (i) the child 
presents proof of a completed dental examination or (ii) the 
child presents proof that a dental examination will take place 
within 60 days after May 15th.  The Department of Public Health 
shall establish, by rule, a waiver for children who show an 
undue burden or a lack of access to a dentist.  Each public, 
private, and parochial school must give notice of this dental 
examination requirement to the parents and guardians of 
students at least 60 days before May 15th of each school year.

    (1.10)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all 
children enrolling in kindergarten in a public, private, or 
parochial school on or after the effective date of this 
amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly and any student 
enrolling for the first time in a  public, private, or parochial 
school on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 
the 95th General Assembly shall have an eye examination.  Each 
of these children shall present proof of having been examined 
by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its 
branches or a  licensed optometrist within the previous year,  in 
accordance with this Section and rules adopted under this 
Section, before October  15th of the school year.  If the  child 
fails to present proof by October  15th, the school may hold the 
child's report card until one of the following occurs:  (i) the 
child presents proof of a completed eye examination or (ii) the 
child presents proof that an eye examination will take place 
within 60 days after October  15th.  The Department of Public 
Health shall establish, by rule, a waiver for children who show 
an undue burden or a lack of access to a physician licensed to 
practice medicine in all of its branches who provides eye 
examinations  or to  a  licensed optometrist.  Each public, 
private, and parochial school must give notice of this eye 
examination requirement to the parents and guardians of 
students in compliance with rules of the Department of Public 
Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to allow a 
school to exclude a child from attending because of a parent's 
or guardian's failure to obtain an eye examination for the 
child.

    (2) The Department of Public Health shall promulgate rules 
and regulations
specifying the examinations and procedures 
that constitute a health examination, which shall include an 
age-appropriate developmental screening, an age-appropriate 
social and emotional screening, and the collection of data 
relating to obesity
(including at a minimum, date of birth, 
gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date of exam),
and 
a dental examination and may recommend by rule that certain 
additional examinations be performed.
The rules and 
regulations of the Department of Public Health shall specify 
that
a tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a 
required part of each
health examination included under this 
Section if the child resides in an area
designated by the 
Department of Public Health as having a high incidence of

tuberculosis.
With respect to the developmental screening and 
the social and emotional screening, the Department of Public 
Health must develop rules and appropriate revisions to the 
Child Health Examination form in conjunction with a statewide 
organization representing school boards; a statewide 
organization representing pediatricians; statewide 
organizations representing individuals holding Illinois 
educator licenses with school support personnel endorsements, 
including school social workers, school  psychologists, and 
school nurses; a statewide organization representing 
children's mental health experts; a statewide organization 
representing school principals; the Director of Healthcare and 
Family Services or his or her designee, the State 
Superintendent of Education or his or her designee; and 
representatives of other appropriate State agencies and, at a 
minimum, must recommend the use of validated screening tools 
appropriate to the child's age or grade, and, with regard to 
the social and emotional screening, require recording only 
whether or not the screening was completed. The rules shall 
take into consideration the screening recommendations of the 
American Academy of Pediatrics and must be consistent with the 
State Board of Education's social and emotional learning 
standards. The Department of Public Health shall specify that a 
diabetes
screening as defined by rule shall be included as a 
required part of each
health examination.
Diabetes testing is 
not required.
    Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its 
branches, licensed advanced
practice nurses, or licensed 
physician assistants shall be
responsible for the performance 
of the health examinations, other than dental
examinations, eye 
examinations, and vision and hearing screening, and shall sign 
all report forms
required by subsection (4) of this Section 
that pertain to those portions of
the health examination for 
which the physician, advanced practice nurse, or
physician 
assistant is responsible.
 If a registered
nurse performs any 
part of a health examination, then a physician licensed to

practice medicine in all of its branches must review and sign 
all required
report forms.  Licensed dentists shall perform all 
dental examinations and
shall sign all report forms required by 
subsection (4) of this Section that
pertain to the dental 
examinations.  Physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all 
its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye 
examinations

required by this Section and shall sign all report 
forms required by
subsection (4) of this Section that pertain 
to the eye examination. For purposes of this Section, an eye 
examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity, 
subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far, 
internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation, 
as well as any other tests or observations that in the 
professional judgment of the doctor are necessary.   Vision and

hearing screening tests, which shall not be considered 
examinations as that
term is used in this Section, shall be 
conducted in accordance with rules and
regulations of the 
Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the

Department of Public Health has certified.
In these rules and 
regulations, the Department of Public Health shall
require that 
individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's

parent or guardian written notification, before the vision 
screening is
conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a 
substitute for a
complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye 
doctor. Your child is not
required to undergo this vision 
screening if an optometrist or
ophthalmologist has completed 
and signed a report form indicating that
an examination has 
been administered within the previous 12 months."
    (2.5) With respect to the developmental screening and the 
social and emotional screening portion of the health 
examination, each child may present proof of having been 
screened in accordance with this Section and the rules adopted 
under this Section before October 15th of the school year. With 
regard to the social and emotional screening only, the 
examining health care provider shall only record whether or not 
the screening was completed. If the child fails to present 
proof of the developmental screening or the social and 
emotional screening portions of the health examination by  
October 15th of the school year, qualified school support  
personnel may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, offer the 
developmental screening or the social and emotional screening 
to the child. Each public, private, and parochial school must 
give notice of the developmental screening and social and 
emotional screening requirements to the parents and guardians 
of students in compliance with the rules of the Department of 
Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to 
allow a school to exclude a child from attending because of a 
parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a developmental 
screening or a social and emotional screening for the child. 
Once a developmental screening or a social and emotional 
screening is completed and proof has been presented to the 
school, the school may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, 
make available appropriate school personnel to work with the 
parent or guardian, the child, and the provider who signed the 
screening form to obtain any appropriate evaluations and 
services as indicated on the form and in other information and 
documentation provided by the parents, guardians, or provider.
    (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or 
she receives
a health examination required by subsection (1) of 
this Section, present
to the local school proof of having 
received such immunizations against
preventable communicable 
diseases as the Department of Public Health shall
require by 
rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and 
the
Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
    (4) The individuals conducting the health examination,


dental examination, or eye examination shall record the
fact of 
having conducted the examination, and such additional 
information as
required, including for a health examination

data relating to obesity
(including at a minimum, date of 
birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date of 
exam), on uniform forms which the Department of Public Health 
and the State
Board of Education shall prescribe for statewide 
use.  The examiner shall
summarize on the report form any 
condition that he or she suspects indicates a
need for special 
services, including for a health examination factors relating 
to obesity. The duty to summarize on the report form does not 
apply to social and emotional screenings. The confidentiality 
of the information and records relating to the developmental 
screening and the social and emotional screening shall be 
determined by the statutes, rules, and professional ethics 
governing the type of provider conducting the screening.  The 
individuals confirming the administration of
required 
immunizations shall record as indicated on the form that the

immunizations were administered.
    (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either 
the health
examination or the immunization as required, then 
the child shall be examined
or receive the immunization, as the 
case may be, and present proof by October
15 of the current 
school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year

established by a school district.  To establish a date before 
October 15 of the
current school year for the health 
examination or immunization as required, a
school district must 
give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days
prior 
to the earlier established date.  If for medical reasons one or 
more of
the required immunizations must be given after October 
15 of the current school
year, or after an earlier established 
date of the current school year, then
the child shall present, 
by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a
schedule 
for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of 
the
medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and 
the statement being
issued by the physician, advanced practice 
nurse, physician assistant,
registered nurse, or local health 
department that will
be responsible for administration of the 
remaining required immunizations.  If
a child does not comply by 
October 15, or by the earlier established date of
the current 
school year, with the requirements of this subsection, then the

local school authority shall exclude that child from school 
until such time as
the child presents proof of having had the 
health examination as required and
presents proof of having 
received those required immunizations which are
medically 
possible to receive immediately.  During a child's exclusion 
from
school for noncompliance with this subsection, the child's 
parents or legal
guardian shall be considered in violation of 
Section 26-1 and subject to any
penalty imposed by Section 
26-10. This subsection (5) does not apply to dental 
examinations, and eye examinations, and the developmental 
screening and the social and emotional screening portions of 
the health examination. If the student is an out-of-state 
transfer student and does not have the proof required under 
this subsection (5) before October 15 of the current year or 
whatever date is set by the school district, then he or she may 
only attend classes (i) if he or she has proof that an 
appointment for the required vaccinations has been scheduled 
with a party authorized to submit proof of the required 
vaccinations. If the proof of vaccination required under this 
subsection (5) is not submitted within 30 days after the 
student is permitted to attend classes, then the student is not 
to be permitted to attend classes until proof of the 
vaccinations has been properly submitted. No school district or 
employee of a school district shall be held liable for any 
injury or illness to another person that results from admitting 
an out-of-state transfer student to class that has an 
appointment scheduled pursuant to this subsection (5). 
    (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of 
Education by November
15, in the manner which that agency shall 
require, the number of children who
have received the necessary 
immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental 
examination or eye examination) as
required, indicating, of 
those who have not received the immunizations and
examination 
as required, the number of children who are exempt from health

examination and immunization requirements on religious or 
medical grounds as
provided in subsection (8).  On or before 
December 1 of each year, every public school district and 
registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the 
immunization data they are required to submit to the State 
Board of Education by November 15.  The immunization data made 
publicly available must be identical to the data the school 
district or school has reported to the State Board of 
Education.
    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education 
by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the 
number of children who have received the required dental 
examination, indicating, of those who have not received the 
required dental examination, the number of children who are 
exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as 
provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of 
children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of 
this Section.
    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education 
by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the 
number of children who have received the required eye 
examination, indicating, of those who have not received the 
required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt 
from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this 
Section, the number of children who have received a waiver 
under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number 
of children in noncompliance with the eye examination 
requirement.
    The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be 
provided to the
Department of Public Health by the State Board 
of Education.
    (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are 
required to be in
compliance with subsection (5) of this 
Section is below 90% of the number of
pupils enrolled in the 
school district, 10% of each State aid payment made
pursuant to 
Section 18-8.05 to the school district for such year may be 
withheld
by the State Board of Education until the number of 
students in compliance with
subsection (5) is the applicable 
specified percentage or higher.
    (8) Children of parents or legal guardians who object to 
health, dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, to 
immunizations, or to vision and hearing screening tests on 
religious grounds shall not be required to undergo the 
examinations, tests,  or immunizations to which they so object 
if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate 
local school authority a signed Certificate of Religious 
Exemption detailing the grounds for objection and the specific 
immunizations, tests,  or examinations to which they object.  The 
grounds for objection must set forth the specific religious 
belief that conflicts with the examination, test, 
immunization, or other medical intervention.  The signed 
certificate shall also reflect the parent's or legal guardian's 
understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the case of 
a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure.  The 
certificate must also be signed by the authorized examining 
health care provider responsible for the performance of the 
child's health examination confirming that the provider 
provided education to the parent or legal guardian on the 
benefits of immunization and the health risks to the student 
and to the community of the communicable diseases for which 
immunization is required in this State.  However, the health 
care provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that 
education was provided and does not allow a health care 
provider grounds to determine a religious exemption. Those 
receiving immunizations required under this Code shall be 
provided with the relevant vaccine information statements that 
are required to be disseminated by the federal National 
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which may contain 
information on circumstances when a vaccine should not be 
administered, prior to administering a vaccine. A healthcare 
provider may consider including without limitation the 
nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such 
as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the 
information outlined in the relevant vaccine information 
statement, and vaccine package inserts, along with the 
healthcare provider's clinical judgment, to determine whether 
any child may be more susceptible to experiencing an adverse 
vaccine reaction than the general population, and, if so, the 
healthcare provider may exempt the child from an immunization 
or adopt an individualized immunization schedule. The 
Certificate of Religious Exemption shall be created by the 
Department of Public Health and shall be made available and 
used by parents and legal guardians by the beginning of the 
2015-2016 school year.  Parents or legal guardians must submit 
the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their local school 
authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and 
ninth grade for each child for which they are requesting an 
exemption. The religious objection stated need not be directed 
by the tenets of an established religious organization. 
However, general philosophical or moral reluctance to allow 
physical examinations, eye examinations, immunizations, vision 
and hearing screenings, or dental examinations does not provide 
a sufficient basis for an exception to statutory requirements. 
The local school authority is responsible for determining if

the content of the Certificate of Religious Exemption

constitutes a valid religious objection.
The local school 
authority shall inform the parent or legal guardian of 
exclusion procedures, in accordance with the Department's 
rules under Part 690 of Title 77 of the Illinois Administrative 
Code, at the time the objection is presented.  
    If the physical condition
of the child is such that any one 
or more of the immunizing agents should not
be administered, 
the examining physician, advanced practice nurse, or
physician 
assistant responsible for the performance of the
health 
examination shall endorse that fact upon the health examination 
form.
    Exempting a child from the health,

dental, or eye 
examination does not exempt the child from
participation in the 
program of physical education training provided in
Sections 
27-5 through 27-7 of this Code.
    (9) For the purposes of this Section, "nursery schools" 
means those nursery
schools operated by elementary school 
systems or secondary level school units
or institutions of 
higher learning.

    (105 ILCS 5/27A-5)

 
  
    Sec. 27A-5. Charter school; legal entity; requirements. 

    (a) A charter school shall be a public, nonsectarian, 
nonreligious, non-home
based, and non-profit school.  A charter 
school shall be organized and operated
as a nonprofit 
corporation or other discrete, legal, nonprofit entity

authorized under the laws of the State of Illinois.

    (b) A charter school may be established under this Article 
by creating a new
school or by converting an existing public 
school or attendance center to
charter
school status.
Beginning 
on April 16, 2003 (the effective date of Public Act 93-3), in 
all new
applications to establish
a charter
school in a city 
having a population exceeding 500,000, operation of the
charter

school shall be limited to one campus. The changes made to this 
Section by Public Act 93-3 do not apply to charter schools 
existing or approved on or before April 16, 2003 (the
effective 
date of Public Act 93-3).
    (b-5)  In this subsection (b-5), "virtual-schooling" means 
a cyber school where students engage in online curriculum and 
instruction via the Internet and electronic communication with 
their teachers at remote locations and with students 
participating at different times. 
    From April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016, there is a 
moratorium on the establishment of charter schools with 
virtual-schooling components in school districts other than a 
school district organized under Article 34 of this Code.  This 
moratorium does not apply to a charter school with 
virtual-schooling components existing or approved prior to 
April 1, 2013 or to the renewal of the charter of a charter 
school with virtual-schooling components already approved 
prior to April 1, 2013.
    On or before March 1, 2014, the Commission shall submit to 
the General Assembly a report on the effect of 
virtual-schooling, including without limitation the effect on 
student performance, the costs associated with 
virtual-schooling, and issues with oversight. The report shall 
include policy recommendations for virtual-schooling. 

    (c) A charter school shall be administered and governed by 
its board of
directors or other governing body
in the manner 
provided in its charter.  The governing body of a charter school

shall be subject to the Freedom of Information Act and the Open 
Meetings Act.

    (d) For purposes of this subsection (d), "non-curricular 
health and safety requirement" means any health and safety 
requirement created by statute or rule to provide, maintain, 
preserve, or safeguard safe or healthful conditions for 
students and school personnel or to eliminate, reduce, or 
prevent threats to the health and safety of  students and school 
personnel.  "Non-curricular health and safety requirement" does 
not include any course of study or specialized instructional 
requirement for which the State Board has established goals and 
learning standards or which is designed primarily to impart 
knowledge and skills for students to master and apply as an 
outcome of their education.
    A charter school shall comply with all non-curricular 
health and safety
requirements applicable to public schools 
under the laws of the State of
Illinois. On or before September 
1, 2015, the State Board shall promulgate and post on its 
Internet website a list of non-curricular health and safety 
requirements that a charter school must meet.  The list shall be 
updated annually no later than September 1.   Any charter 
contract between a charter school and its authorizer must 
contain a provision that requires the  charter school to follow 
the list of all non-curricular health and safety requirements 
promulgated by the State Board and any non-curricular health 
and safety requirements added by the State Board to such list 
during the term of the charter.   Nothing in this subsection (d) 
precludes an authorizer from including non-curricular health 
and safety requirements in a charter school contract that are 
not contained in the list promulgated by the State Board, 
including non-curricular health and safety requirements of the 
authorizing local school board. 

    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the School Code, a 
charter school shall
not charge tuition; provided that a 
charter school may charge reasonable fees
for textbooks, 
instructional materials, and student activities.

    (f) A charter school shall be responsible for the 
management and operation
of its fiscal affairs including,
but 
not limited to, the preparation of its budget.  An audit of each 
charter
school's finances shall be conducted annually by an 
outside, independent
contractor retained by the charter 
school. To ensure financial accountability for the use of 
public funds, on or before December 1 of every year of 
operation, each charter school shall submit to its authorizer 
and the State Board a copy of its audit and a copy of the Form 
990 the charter school filed that year with the federal 
Internal Revenue Service. In addition, if deemed necessary for 
proper financial oversight of the charter school, an authorizer 
may require quarterly financial statements from each charter 
school. 

    (g) A charter school shall comply with all provisions of 
this Article, the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act, all 
federal and State laws and rules applicable to public schools 
that pertain to special education and the instruction of 
English learners, and
its charter.  A charter
school is exempt 
from all other State laws and regulations in this Code

governing public
schools and local school board policies; 
however, a charter school is not exempt from the following:

        (1) Sections 10-21.9 and 34-18.5 of this Code regarding 
    criminal
 history records checks and checks of the Statewide 
    Sex Offender Database and Statewide Murderer and Violent 
    Offender Against Youth Database of applicants for 
    employment;

        (2) Sections 10-20.14, 10-22.6, 24-24, 34-19, and 
    34-84a of this Code regarding discipline of
students;

        (3) the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees 
    Tort Immunity Act;

        (4) Section 108.75 of the General Not For Profit 
    Corporation Act of 1986
regarding indemnification of 
    officers, directors, employees, and agents;

        (5) the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act;

        (6) the Illinois School Student Records Act;

        (7) Section 10-17a of this Code regarding school report 
    cards;

        (8) the P-20 Longitudinal Education Data System Act;
        (9) Section 27-23.7 of this Code regarding bullying 
    prevention;
        (10) Section 2-3.162 of this Code regarding student 
    discipline reporting; and
        (11) Sections Section 22-80 and 27-8.1 of this Code.
    The change made by Public Act 96-104 to this subsection (g) 
is declaratory of existing law.
    (h) A charter school may negotiate and contract with a 
school district, the
governing body of a State college or 
university or public community college, or
any other public or 
for-profit or nonprofit private entity for: (i) the use
of a 
school building and grounds or any other real property or 
facilities that
the charter school desires to use or convert 
for use as a charter school site,
(ii) the operation and 
maintenance thereof, and
(iii) the provision of any service, 
activity, or undertaking that the charter
school is required to 
perform in order to carry out the terms of its charter.

However, a charter school
that is established on
or
after April 
16, 2003 (the effective date of Public Act 93-3) and that 
operates
in a city having a population exceeding
500,000 may 
not contract with a for-profit entity to
manage or operate the 
school during the period that commences on April 16, 2003 (the

effective date of Public Act 93-3) and
concludes at the end of 
the 2004-2005 school year.
Except as provided in subsection (i) 
of this Section, a school district may
charge a charter school 
reasonable rent for the use of the district's
buildings, 
grounds, and facilities.  Any services for which a charter 
school
contracts
with a school district shall be provided by 
the district at cost.  Any services
for which a charter school 
contracts with a local school board or with the
governing body 
of a State college or university or public community college

shall be provided by the public entity at cost.

    (i) In no event shall a charter school that is established 
by converting an
existing school or attendance center to 
charter school status be required to
pay rent for space
that is 
deemed available, as negotiated and provided in the charter 
agreement,
in school district
facilities.  However, all other
