Health providers would share cortical vision-loss information with parents

Health care providers would give parents information about cortical visual impairment and recommend testing by an ophthalmologist or neurologist. This applies to providers serving children who have at least one listed condition, including brain injury, stroke, seizures, certain infections, or an abnormal neurological exam. The provider must provide both the information and the testing recommendation. The recommendation concerns testing for cortical visual impairment, a type of vision loss caused by brain damage or another brain injury. The act would take effect 90 days after enactment, and the provider duties would apply from that date.
