Bill > A07442

This bill extends a previous law from 2003 that requires publishers and manufacturers to provide printed instructional materials for college students with disabilities. Specifically, the bill modifies the expiration date of the original law, changing the period from 21 years to 24 years after its initial effective date of August 15, 2004. By extending the law's validity, the bill ensures continued support for college students with disabilities by maintaining the requirement that publishers provide accessible instructional materials. The bill takes effect immediately, which means the extension of the law's duration begins right away. This type of legislation is important for ensuring educational accessibility and supporting students with disabilities in higher education by mandating that publishers create materials that can be easily used by students with various physical or visual impairments.
