Protecting Students with Disabilities Act

This bill would bar the use of federal appropriated funds to eliminate, consolidate, or restructure any Department of Education office that runs or enforces programs for people with disabilities, including programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It would also bar using those funds to fire, reassign, or change the duties of staff in those offices in a way that causes legal obligations under those laws to go unmet. Finally, it would bar using those funds to contract with or hand off these programs to any entity outside the Department of Education.
