State Rep. Steve Reick previously criticizes the Democrat’s bill, now signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker, which has schools screening kids mental health starting in grade three.
Now, Fox News has picked up criticisms of the legislation and Reick’s prediction of negative consequences is included:
“Republican lawmakers in the state have also voiced opposition. Rep. Steve Reick (R‑Woodstock) warned the law could have unintended consequences for families dealing with insurance companies.
“‘Universal mental health screenings are going to get us nothing except possibly finding things, finding reasons for denial of coverage of insurance,’ Reick said.”
