What this bill would do

The "Protecting Students with Disabilities Act" prohibits the use of appropriated funds to eliminate, consolidate, or restructure any office in the Department of Education that manages programs for people with disabilities. It specifically protects programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The bill prevents the termination or reassignment of personnel if it would result in statutory obligations not being met. Additionally, it bans contracting out or delegating these programs to entities outside the Department of Education.
