Illinois HB4068 amends the School Code to set specific timelines for creating disability accommodations under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It mandates that within 14 school days of receiving a written request from a child's parent or guardian, a school district must determine if the provided clinical information supports the need for a Section 504 plan. If the district agrees to an evaluation, a meeting with the parent or guardian must be held within 14 school days. The district must convene a team to identify necessary assessments.
