 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 9, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SANTABARBARA -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the administration of
 exams to students with disabilities

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
 2 certain students with disabilities are allowed extended testing time
 3 according to their individual education program, or perhaps even accom-
 4 modations provided pursuant to regulations promulgated under section 504
 5 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The legislature further finds that
 6 these students, as a result of this extended time allowance, are being
 7 subjected to ten or eleven straight hours of testing when they are
 8 required to take two regents exams on the same date.
 9 The legislature acknowledges the department of education's need for
 10 security concerning the substance of the examination. As such, the
 11 legislature understands the department's continuing hesitance to allow
 12 these students with disabilities to take the exams on days other than
 13 which they had been officially scheduled.
 14 However, the benefits of providing these children with respite between
 15 each exam far outweighs the potential of one of these students garnering
 16 information about the exam from another student who had previously taken
 17 the exam. Therefore, it is the intent of this legislature to have the
 18 commissioner of education implement a process whereby students with
 19 certain disabilities are not required to take more than one regents
 20 examination in any given day.
 21 § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 319 to read
 22 as follows:
 23 § 319. Examination of students with disabilities. The commissioner
 24 shall promulgate regulations establishing guidelines which provide that
 25 any child who has extended testing time provisions on such child's indi-

 A. 1131 2

 1 vidualized education program, or who receives extended testing time
 2 accommodations pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
 3 1973, is provided an opportunity to only take one regents examination on
 4 any given day.
 5 § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 6 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
 7 ment, and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the imple-
 8 mentation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made
 9 and completed on or before such effective date.
