This bill mandates that school districts provide parents or guardians with a hard copy of the draft Individualized Education Program (IEP) and a list of excused IEP team members at least two business days before the annual IEP team meeting. The draft IEP must clearly display the word "DRAFT" on each page and include a list of any IEP team members seeking excusal from the meeting, along with their input regarding the programs and services they are responsible for. This list is in addition to any requests for consent for excusal that are already required by federal and state law.

Additionally, the bill requires that a written notice accompany the draft IEP, informing parents or guardians that the proposed programs and services are preliminary recommendations meant for review and discussion. It emphasizes that the draft is provided to facilitate better engagement during the annual meeting and encourages parents or guardians to offer their input and feedback on the proposed IEP.
