You could probably look it up on the Illinois homepage. Honestly I don't think it will get much traction. School districts will be vehemently opposed.

This sounds very positive. Do we know who helped get it to the legislature?

Thought some might be interested in following this bill.



HB3489 - SCH CD-SPECIAL ED-ENROLLMENT



Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Children with Disabilities Article of the
School Code. Provides that the parent or guardian of a child with
disabilities who resides in a school district shall have the option of
enrolling the child in a school district in which the child was previously
enrolled as long as that school district is, in whole or in part, within the
county in which the child currently resides. Requires the school district in
which the child currently resides to grant proper permit to the child's
parent or guardian to allow the child to enroll in a school district outside
of the district in which he or she resides. Sets forth provisions concerning
special education reimbursement, general State aid apportionment, and
transportation costs. Effective immediately.
