		HB4068 Engrossed		LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b
    AN ACT concerning education.
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
    Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section
14-8.02j as follows:
    (105 ILCS 5/14-8.02j new)
    Sec. 14-8.02j. Timelines for addressing requests for 
disability accommodations under Section 504 of the federal 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
    (a) In this Section:
    "Health care provider" means a physician licensed to 
practice medicine in all of its branches, a licensed physician 
assistant, or a licensed advanced practice registered nurse.
    "Individualized health care plan" means a document 
developed with the involvement of a school nurse or, if a 
school nurse is unavailable, a licensed nurse, that is 
implemented in the school setting for a student with a 
significant health condition who requires direct or indirect 
nursing services at school.
    "Qualified provider" means a licensed, certified, or 
registered practitioner meeting State standards to deliver 
specific services.
    (b) Within 14 school days after receiving a written 
		HB4068 Engrossed	- 2 -	LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b
request for a federal Section 504 plan from a child's parent or 
guardian, a school district shall determine:
        (1) whether the clinical information, which may 
    include a diagnosis from a health care provider or 
    qualified provider that is provided by the parent or 
    guardian, is sufficient to support the existence of a 
    disability pursuant to Section 504 of the federal 
    Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and eligibility for a Section 
    504 plan;
        (2) whether further evaluation is needed to make the 
    determination in paragraph (1); or
        (3) whether there is no basis for an evaluation or 
    plan based on available information.
If the school district makes the determination not to confer 
eligibility based on existing information or that an 
evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall 
provide written notice to the parent or guardian explaining 
the rationale for the determination.
    If the school district makes the determination that an 
evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall 
convene a team of individuals, including the parent or 
guardian, having the knowledge and skills necessary to 
administer and interpret evaluation data. The composition of 
the team shall vary depending on the nature of the student's 
symptoms and other relevant factors. The team shall identify 
any assessments that are necessary and other relevant 
		HB4068 Engrossed	- 3 -	LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b
information, if any, that needs to be collected to complete 
the evaluation. The school district shall ensure that written 
notification of the team's conclusions is transmitted to the 
parent or guardian within the 14-school-day timeline under 
this subsection, along with the school district's request for 
the parent's or guardian's consent to conduct the needed 
assessments. After a meeting is scheduled within the 
14-school-day timeline under this subsection, the parent or 
guardian may request, in writing, an extension of the 
14-school-day timeline for up to 10 additional school days. 
The written request for an extension shall be maintained in 
the student's temporary school records.
    (c) For a student with documentation from a health care 
provider indicating the need for an individualized health care 
plan to address a significant health condition that is a 
likely threat to the student's health or safety in the school 
setting, the appropriate school personnel shall, within 14 
school days after receipt of (i) documentation from the health 
care provider outlining the student's medical need and (ii) 
duly executed authorization for the release of information 
forms pursuant to applicable federal and State laws to permit 
school personnel to communicate and exchange information with 
the health care provider, meet with the student's parent or 
guardian and, if appropriate, the student, to consider the 
creation of an individualized health care plan consistent with 
the health care provider's health or safety recommendations. 
		HB4068 Engrossed	- 4 -	LRB104 13772 LNS 26532 b
If the appropriate school personnel agree with the health care 
provider's recommendations, implementation of the 
individualized health care plan shall commence within the 
14-school-day timeline under this subsection. The creation of 
an individualized health care plan for a student does not 
preclude the development of a Section 504 plan for the 
student.
    (d) Nothing in this Section supersedes the requirements in 
Section 22-30 of this Code, the Care of Students with Diabetes 
Act, or the Seizure Smart School Act.
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.

Amends the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code. Provides that within 14 school days after receiving a written request for a federal Section 504 plan from a child's parent or guardian, a school district shall determine: (1) whether the clinical information is sufficient to support the existence of a disability under the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and eligibility for a Section 504 plan; (2) whether further evaluation is needed to make such a determination; or (3) whether there is no basis for an evaluation or Section 504 plan based on available information. Provides that if the school district makes the determination not to confer eligibility based on existing information or that an evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall provide written notice to the parent or guardian explaining the rationale for the determination. Provides that if the school district makes the determination that an evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall convene a team of individuals having the knowledge and skills necessary to administer and interpret evaluation data. Provides that for a student with documentation from a health care provider indicating the need for an individualized health care plan to address a significant health condition that is a likely threat to the student's health or safety in the school setting, the appropriate school personnel shall, within 14 school days after receipt of specified documentation and authorization, meet with the student's parent or guardian and, if appropriate, the student, to consider the creation of an individualized health care plan consistent with the health care provider's health or safety recommendations. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
