When administering a state-mandated assessment or a state-mandated test, the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education and each school district shall allow a student that has been evaluated through appropriate testing, including a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, and identified as having difficulty with sensory processing in reaction to oversensitivity to full spectrum light to use color overlays specific to the student's oversensitivity that alter the contrast between the words and the page so that the student can visually comprehend the words on a page of a state-mandated assessment or a state-mandated test, if made available by the test developer.
