[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Kids Vision Care Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Good vision is essential for proper physical
development and educational progress in growing children.

screening or comprehensive eye exams required by State laws,
will identify children needing services. A child identified
through vision screening should receive a comprehensive eye
exam followed by subsequent treatment as needed. A child
identified through a comprehensive eye exam should receive
subsequent treatment as needed. All children identified as
needing services should have access to subsequent treatment as
needed.
