An Act creating documentation requirement standards to demonstrate a disability for a public institution of higher education in the commonwealth

This bill establishes clear documentation standards for students with disabilities to access accommodations at public colleges and universities in the commonwealth. It specifies that acceptable proof includes past special education plans, Section 504 plans, evaluations from licensed professionals, or records from other schools or institutions. Public institutions must create and publicly post a simple process for determining eligibility for accommodations on their websites. The Board of Higher Education will develop detailed rules to implement these standards.
