State Representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) has introduced three legislative bills focused on enhancing support for students with disabilities in Illinois. The proposed measures aim to provide additional resources for parents and implement new training programs for educators.

“These bills are a game-changer – giving students with disabilities, their families, and educators the real support they deserve,” stated Rep. Davis.

The first bill, House Bill 1097, would permit parents or guardians to record audio during meetings about their child's individualized education program (IEP). House Bill 1106 proposes that school districts establish volunteer Special Education Advisory Committees upon parental request. Lastly, House Bill 1107 mandates training for school staff to improve understanding and support for students with disabilities.

Rep. Davis emphasized the importance of these initiatives by saying, “These bills tackle multiple weak spots in current Illinois law addressing students with disabilities. Together, we can create a framework for children, parents, and educators to ensure all Illinois students succeed.”

These proposals are part of the broader Protecting Kids Bill Package introduced by Rep. Davis.

For inquiries or to express support for these legislative efforts, individuals are encouraged to contact Rep. Davis’ office at (331) 867-8200. Additional information about Representative Davis can be found at RepJedDavis.com.
