Introduced Text

Illinois HB5575 mandates transportation for students with Individualized Education Programs, ensuring equitable access to education.

HB5575 amends the Illinois School Code to require school districts to provide transportation for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEP). This transportation must be based solely on the student's eligibility for special education and is considered a necessary related service. The bill mandates that transportation be provided at no cost and is presumed necessary for a free appropriate public education. It prohibits school districts from limiting transportation based on factors such as disability, behavior, attendance, or cost.
