establishing automatic discovery in due process hearings for actions seeking to enforce special education rights.
HB 754 requires schools to automatically share relevant evidence (like student records or evaluation reports) during due process hearings where parents or students challenge special education services. This directly affects parents, students with disabilities, and school districts by making the hearing process fairer and faster, eliminating the need to formally request documents. The bill changes the standard procedure so schools must proactively provide evidence without a separate request from the other party. It applies to disputes over Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or educational services under state special education law.
