STUDENTS: Exempts students with dyslexia from certain literacy examinations and provides for alternative progress monitoring tests. (gov sig) (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

This bill exempts students diagnosed with dyslexia from taking specific literacy examinations required by current law. Instead of the standard tests, schools must administer an annual assessment that measures phonological skills and oral reading fluency. The change directly affects educational institutions and students identified with dyslexia under state definitions. By removing the original exam requirement and mandating a different type of evaluation, the legislation alters how academic progress is monitored for this specific group.
