The Forms & Digital Bill
Making required school health forms free and digital
School Health Certificate Modernization Amendment Act of 2026
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would stop doctors from charging parents a fee to fill out the health and dental forms kids need to attend school.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Getting your kid ready for school is already expensive. Right now, some doctors and dentists charge extra money just to sign the mandatory health forms your child needs to attend class. This bill would ban those extra charges and make the forms free for parents. It would also move the whole system online so important papers do not get lost in a backpack. This is a simple fix that would save families money and time. It is currently in committee, making this the perfect time for parents to speak up and support it.
