Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
SB 1155 - This act creates the "Missouri Respond, Innovate, Succeed, and Empower (RISE) Act". Under this act, a public institution of higher education shall adopt a policy that specifies the types of documentation the institution shall accept to determine a student's eligibility for disability accommodations. The act lists the types of documentation that shall be accepted, including documentation related to Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans developed under federal law, provided that any IEP or 504 plan documentation shall represent an ongoing need for disability accommodations that has not ended. An institution may set simpler criteria than those specified in the act to determine whether a student qualifies as an individual with a disability. The policy shall clearly outline the process for determining eligibility for disability accommodations. This information shall be shared with students, parents, and faculty in accessible formats and made available on the institution's website. OLIVIA SHANNON
