The See the Board Act would direct the Department of Health and Human Services to create grants for nonprofit organizations that provide free eye care to public elementary and secondary school students. Grants could support mobile clinics, portable equipment, and operating costs. Services could include vision screenings, follow-up eye exams, and glasses. The bill also says grant recipients should, when possible, inform students and parents about recommended vision screening and eye exam schedules.
If enacted, students at public elementary and secondary schools could receive free eye care through a participating nonprofit’s mobile clinic. The bill does not guarantee that a clinic would serve every school or student.
The bill authorizes funding as needed for fiscal years 2026 through 2031, but does not specify an amount. Grants could pay for equipment and program costs, including protective equipment and direct service costs.
