ORR 2003-024 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH HEALTH PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION
BUREAU OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY PROGRAMS
VISION SCREENING OF PRESCHOOL AND SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN
Pursuant to Section 41(2) of Public Act 306 of 1969, as amended, the Department of Community Health will hold a hearing on proposed community health rules on:
Date: October 23, 2003 Location: Michigan Department of Community Health
Time: 9:00 a.m Baker-Olin West Building – Conference Room C 3423 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Lansing, Michigan
The Proposed Rules Cover:
C R325.13094(2): Current rule requires screening in grades 1,3,5,7,9,and 11 or grades 1,3,5,7 and in conjunction with driver training. Since most adolescents receive vision screening prior to driver’s training, the requirement for screening in the 11th grade should be eliminated.
C R325.13092(3): Current rule requires color vision testing to be done at least once during elementary school years. Proposed change would eliminate this requirement.
Written comments will be accepted through October 20, 2003. Please send to the Michigan Department of Community Health, attention: Mary Greco, Legal Affairs Coordinator, at the address below.
The hearing location is handicapper accessible and interpreters will be available for the hearing impaired, if requested, seven days in advance.
These rules take effect 15 days after filing with the Secretary of State.
