This bill mandates that public institutions of higher education must provide students with disabilities access to assistive services during class to facilitate the recording of course material. The assistive services may include tools such as note-taking software or a scribe, with the stipulation that any recordings made are strictly for personal use. Importantly, the definition of course material explicitly excludes any tests or graded assignments that are completed during class time.

The legislation is designed to enhance the educational experience for students with disabilities by ensuring they have the necessary resources to effectively engage with course content. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and support for students with disabilities in higher education settings.
