The School Code is amended by adding Section 5 14-8.02j as follows: 6 (105 ILCS 5/14-8.02j new) 7 Sec. 14-8.02j. Timelines for addressing requests for 8 disability accommodations under Section 504 of the federal 9 Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 10 (a) In this Section: 11 "Health care provider" means a physician licensed to 12 practice medicine in all of its branches, a licensed physician 13 assistant, or a licensed advanced practice registered nurse. 14 "Individualized health care plan" means a document 15 developed with the involvement of a school nurse or, if a 16 school nurse is unavailable, a licensed nurse, that is 17 implemented in the school setting for a student with a 18 significant health condition who requires direct or indirect 19 nursing services at school. 20 "Qualified provider" means a licensed, certified, or 21 registered practitioner meeting State standards to deliver 22 specific services. 23 (b) Within 14 school days after receiving a written HB4068 Engrossed - 2 - LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b 1 request for a federal Section 504 plan from a child's parent or 2 guardian, a school district shall determine: 3 (1) whether the clinical information, which may 4 include a diagnosis from a health care provider or 5 qualified provider that is provided by the parent or 6 guardian, is sufficient to support the existence of a 7 disability pursuant to Section 504 of the federal 8 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and eligibility for a Section 9 504 plan; 10 (2) whether further evaluation is needed to make the 11 determination in paragraph (1); or 12 (3) whether there is no basis for an evaluation or 13 plan based on available information. 14 If the school district makes the determination not to confer 15 eligibility based on existing information or that an 16 evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall 17 provide written notice to the parent or guardian explaining 18 the rationale for the determination. 19 If the school district makes the determination that an 20 evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall 21 convene a team of individuals, including the parent or 22 guardian, having the knowledge and skills necessary to 23 administer and interpret evaluation data. The composition of 24 the team shall vary depending on the nature of the student's 25 symptoms and other relevant factors. The team shall identify 26 any assessments that are necessary and other relevant HB4068 Engrossed - 3 - LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b 1 information, if any, that needs to be collected to complete 2 the evaluation. The school district shall ensure that written 3 notification of the team's conclusions is transmitted to the 4 parent or guardian within the 14-school-day timeline under 5 this subsection, along with the school district's request for 6 the parent's or guardian's consent to conduct the needed 7 assessments. After a meeting is scheduled within the 8 14-school-day timeline under this subsection, the parent or 9 guardian may request, in writing, an extension of the 10 14-school-day timeline for up to 10 additional school days. 11 The written request for an extension shall be maintained in 12 the student's temporary school records. 13 (c) For a student with documentation from a health care 14 provider indicating the need for an individualized health care 15 plan to address a significant health condition that is a 16 likely threat to the student's health or safety in the school 17 setting, the appropriate school personnel shall, within 14 18 school days after receipt of (i) documentation from the health 19 care provider outlining the student's medical need and (ii) 20 duly executed authorization for the release of information 21 forms pursuant to applicable federal and State laws to permit 22 school personnel to communicate and exchange information with 23 the health care provider, meet with the student's parent or 24 guardian and, if appropriate, the student, to consider the 25 creation of an individualized health care plan consistent with 26 the health care provider's health or safety recommendations.
