The bill amends special education protocols to ensure children with disabilities maintain their initial placement unless it lacks necessary services.

The Advancing Equity in Special Education Protocols Amendment Act of 2025 modifies special education laws to protect the initial placement of children with disabilities. It mandates that children with disabilities continue with their initial placement's feeder pattern unless the new service location lacks special education services to support their Individualized Education Program (IEP). The Local Education Agency (LEA) must consult with the child’s IEP team and provide written notice of any proposed changes.
