Summary

Existing law requires that every individual with exceptional needs, as defined, who is eligible, be provided with educational instruction, services, or both, at no cost to his or her parent or guardian or, as appropriate, to him or her. A free appropriate public education is required to be made available to individuals with exceptional needs in accordance with the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and regulations adopted pursuant to that act. The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act authorizes a United States district court, in its discretion, to award reasonable attorney's fees as part of costs to a prevailing party who is the parent of a child with a disability in certain actions or proceedings, or to a prevailing state educational agency or local educational agency against the attorney of a parent in certain circumstances. State law references the attorney's fees provisions of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the state law reference to the attorney's fees provisions of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
