Compliance with Risk Assessment Requirements

(a)

Each individual required by rules adopted under this chapter to be assessed shall undergo approved risk assessment for Type 2 diabetes. The individual shall comply with the requirements as soon as possible after the individual’s admission to a school and as required by rule. The individual or, if the individual is a minor, the minor’s parent, managing conservator, or guardian may substitute a professional examination for the risk assessment.

To qualify for the exemption, the individual or, if the individual is a minor, the individual’s parent, managing conservator, or guardian must submit to the chief administrator of the school on or before the day of the risk assessment process an affidavit stating the objections to the risk assessment.

(c)

The chief administrator of each school shall ensure that each individual admitted to the school complies with the risk assessment requirements set by the office or submits an affidavit of exemption.
