Special Education for Young Adults in the Custody of the Department of Corrections Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This emergency bill directs the District of Columbia Department of Corrections to provide free public education to young adults with disabilities who are detained in its secure facilities. The law specifically requires the agency to offer educational services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to individuals aged 18 and older until they are no longer eligible for such support. These provisions apply only to the 2023-2024 school year, after which the mandate expires unless extended. The legislation amends existing statutes to formally include this educational requirement within the department's legal responsibilities.
