Illinois HB2337 amends the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code to establish detailed rules and procedures for impartial due process hearings. The bill mandates that no mediation, resolution, or settlement agreements may include conditions that prospectively waive a student's right to a free, appropriate public education or the right to assert claims for nonimplementation of such education. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of parties involved, including parents, students, and school districts, and specifies the process for requesting and conducting hearings.
