Senate Bill 730 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator John J. Gleason
Committee: Education
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Revised School Code to replace references to a "handicapped person" with "student with a disability".
The Code contains references to a "handicapped person", "handicapped pupil", and "handicapper" in certain definitions and other provisions throughout the Code. The bill would replace those terms with "student with a disability".
"Student with a disability" would mean that term as defined in R 340.1702 of the Administrative Code, i.e., a person who is determined by an individualized education program team or a hearing officer to have one or more of specified impairments that necessitate special education or related services, or both, who is not more than 25 years of age as of September 1 of the school year of enrollment, who has not completed a normal course of study, and who has not graduated from high school.
