others, including congressman ron paul (-), were more concerned by the commission's suggestion to use schools as a site for screening. paul's concern led to the introduction of parental consent act of 2005 in the us house of representatives on january 4, 2005. the bill, which died in committee, would have forbidden federal funds from being used for any mental health screening of students without the express, written, voluntary, informed consent of parents. paul introduced similar bills in may 2007 (), april 2009 (), and august 2011 (); those, likewise, died in committee.
