AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow certain 22-year-old students with disabilities to continue receiving special education services for the remainder of the school year in which their 22nd birthday occurs. The bill defines "age 22" and "disabled person" or "person with a disability" to clarify the eligibility criteria for these extended services. This change provides additional educational opportunities for students with disabilities who may need more time to complete their schooling and transition to adulthood.
