Summary of H 752: An Act Strengthening Transitional Planning and Increasing Accountability for Persons with Disabilities and Their Families

Purpose and Intent

This bill, H 752, aims to improve the transition planning process and increase accountability for services provided to individuals with disabilities as they move from youth-oriented programs into adulthood. The primary goals are to:

  1. Enhance the coordination and quality of transitional services for people with disabilities.
  2. Empower individuals with disabilities and their families to be more engaged and informed participants in the transition planning process.
  3. Establish stronger oversight and performance metrics to ensure transitional services are meeting the needs of this population.

Key Provisions

The key provisions of H 752 include:

Transition Planning Requirements

  • Mandates the development of individualized transition plans starting at age 14 for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans.
  • Requires transition plans to cover areas such as education, employment, independent living, and community participation.
  • Specifies that transition plans must be updated annually and aligned with the student's IEP or 504 plan.

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Establishes transition planning teams that include the student, family members, school representatives, and relevant service providers.
  • Requires schools to provide training and support to help students and families meaningfully participate in the transition process.

Accountability Measures

  • Directs the state Department of Disability Services to develop performance metrics and targets for transitional service providers.
  • Mandates annual reporting on provider performance and outcomes for individuals with disabilities.
  • Authorizes the department to implement corrective actions for providers that fail to meet established benchmarks.

Affected Populations and Timeline

H 752 would impact students with disabilities, their families, as well as the various education, social service, and employment providers involved in the transition to adulthood process. The new transition planning requirements and accountability measures would take effect beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.
