Relates to student age eligibility for certain programs and benefits
This bill raises the age limit for certain education programs from 21 to 22 years for students with disabilities as defined in education law. It updates multiple sections of the education code to extend eligibility for high school diplomas (for students in state facilities or correctional settings), transportation services, and related benefits. The change specifically applies to students with disabilities covered under Section 4401 of the education law. It modifies existing eligibility rules without creating new programs or benefits.
