SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Study; the hearing officer system and appeals of special education decisions. Directs the Administrative Law Advisory Committee, an agency established to advise the General Assembly concerning the Administrative Code and other legal matters relating to administrative procedures, to study the hearing officer system and appeals of special education decisions. The resolution notes recent proposed revisions of the special education regulations, which have made some improvements in the hearing officer system vis-a-vis special education hearings. However, parents of disabled children and their attorneys do not believe that these efforts are enough. The Committee is directed to consult with the parents of disabled children and their attorneys concerning the problems experienced and to address any allegations of inappropriate ex parte contact, judge shopping techniques, insufficient training in conducting the hearings, and the lack of hearing officer expertise in the relevant law.
