HR 8073 United States House · 119th Congress

Protection and Advocacy for Student Success Act

This bill authorizes federal grants to establish a national education protection and advocacy program that supports organizations enforcing the rights of students with disabilities under key federal laws. The program would provide funding to existing protection and advocacy systems to monitor educational settings, advocate for safe conditions, and pursue legal remedies for violations of student rights. Grants would be distributed based on state populations with minimum amounts guaranteed for each state and territory, and recipients would not be required to provide matching funds. The legislation requires systems receiving funds to submit annual reports and use the grants to supplement rather than replace existing services.
