Establishes written parental consent requirements for individualized education programs (IEPs)

HB 2304 requires schools to obtain written or electronic parental consent before making specific changes to a child's Individualized Education Program (IEP), including initial placements, placement changes, removal of services, or service minute changes exceeding 25%. It directly affects parents of students with disabilities and local school districts (LEAs), mandating they use a standardized consent form that includes options for full consent, refusal, or partial consent. The bill also requires schools to document consent dates and provide dispute resolution options if parents and schools disagree on IEP changes. Schools must allow parents to visit proposed programs before consenting and notify parents of conduct-related IEP changes per federal rules. The law takes effect July 1, 2027.
