A 1131 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides that students who have an IEP shall not be required to take more than one regents examination in any given day

This bill (A 1131) requires that students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Act accommodations receive only one Regents exam per school day. It directly affects students with disabilities who typically need extended testing time under their IEPs or 504 plans. The law mandates the education commissioner to create regulations ensuring these students are not scheduled for multiple exams on the same day, addressing concerns about excessive testing time. This change aims to reduce testing fatigue while maintaining exam security, as the legislature determined the benefits outweigh potential risks of information sharing between exams.
