Summary

Parents hear about Medicaid waiver programs every meeting now, not once.

The bill requires school districts to give parents or guardians of students with an intellectual disability or developmental delay information about services and public benefits from their local intellectual and developmental disability authority, including Medicaid waiver programs. It touches school districts, special education families and the local disability authorities whose services get described. Instead of handing over this information only at the first individualized education program meeting, schools must now provide it at every admission, review, and dismissal committee meeting, starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
