HB4068

Illinois HB4068 establishes timelines for creating disability accommodations under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

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 requires school districts to convene a team within 14 school days of receiving a written request from a parent or guardian to determine if an evaluation is necessary. If a licensed health care provider documents a need for an individualized health care plan due to a medical threat, the school's Section 504 plan team must meet with the parent or guardian within 5 school days to consider creating an interim plan.
