AN ACT providing that a student enrolled in an individualized education program during certain school years may continue to receive educational services until the student completes the services pursuant to the individualized education program or the end of the school year during which the student turns twenty-two years old, whichever is sooner; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill provides a specific extension of educational services for students with special education needs during the 2025-2026 school year. Specifically, students who turned twenty-one years old during the 2024-2025 school year and were already enrolled in a school district receiving special education services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) - a personalized learning plan for students with disabilities - will be allowed to continue receiving educational services. These services will continue until either the student completes their IEP or reaches the end of the school year when they turn twenty-two years old, whichever occurs first. The bill is temporary, with its provisions set to automatically expire on June 30, 2026, meaning it provides a time-limited opportunity for eligible special education students to continue their educational services beyond what might typically be available.
