Bill Caption
Relating to requirements for a representative for a student in a
special education due process hearing.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
SB 2141 would mandate that those representing special education students in due process proceedings agree to a voluntary code of ethics and other rules for representing special needs students.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill is aimed at protecting those students who are the subject of a special education due process hearing, which is a goal we support. However, this bill would be an increase in the burdens on those who represent these students, and it is counter intuitive to mandate someone adhere to a voluntary code of ethics. For these conflicting reasons, we remain neutral.
