Summary

Amends the Chicago School District Article of the School Code. Provides that under the Chicago Board of Education's policies and rules concerning infectious disease, the Board shall require that all students wash their hands with an antiseptic soap or detergent before consuming any meal at school and shall establish nationally accepted standards and provide the facilities, materials, and supervision necessary to implement the handwashing requirement. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 19 include new provisions that remove specific regulations related to managing students with chronic infectious diseases and the requirement for handwashing before meals. This change is significant because it simplifies the rules for schools, potentially allowing them more flexibility in addressing health concerns without the constraints of previously mandated policies. The overall goal is likely to reduce administrative burdens on school boards while encouraging a more tailored approach to student health and safety.
