ARC 0102D · Proposed rule (Notice of Intended Action)

Dispute resolution: practice before mediators and administrative law judges, 120.811

Published Wednesday, March 4, 2026

Comment closed

What it changes

This proposed rulemaking eliminates a potential source of confusion by removing unnecessary and confusing cross-references to the dispute resolution procedures under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Some, but not all, of the procedures under Part B apply to Part C of IDEA (Early ACCESS). This proposed rulemaking removes references to procedures that do not.

In the agency’s words, from the notice.

Reviewed by legislators

The committee, ten legislators from both parties, can object to a rule or delay it.
