RESPONSE: Section 27-8.1 in the School Code of Illinois was amended on July 19, 2002 (Public Act 92-0703) to allow advanced practice nurses (APNs) and physician assistants (PAs) who perform a health examination to sign the health exam form. The APN or PA must have signed the health examination form on or after the effective date of the Act (7/19/02) for it to be acceptable.
