Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
105 ILCS 5/2-3.64a-5
105 ILCS 5/14-8.03
105 ILCS 5/10-20.9a rep.
Adds reference to:
105 ILCS 5/10-20.9afrom Ch. 122, par. 10-20.9a

In the provisions amending the Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act, removes a reference to grants in excess of $25,000. In the provisions amending the School Code, restores current law regarding State goals and assessments and special education transition services. Requires the School Code Mandate Reduction Council to meet no less than 4 times between October 1, 2025 and September 1, 2026 (rather than between July 1, 2025 and December 1, 2025). With respect to online safety and media literacy, requires the State Board of Education, subject to appropriation, to prepare and make available multidisciplinary instructional resources and professional learning opportunities for educators (rather than requiring the State Board, by July 1, 2026, to create online safety education curriculum resource materials for all public schools); makes related changes. In a provision regarding general permissive education, changes references from "school", "eligible entity", and "entity" to "school or school board". Further amends the School Code to change (rather than repeal) a Section regarding final grades and promotion. Removes language from that Section providing that no public high school of a school district shall withhold a student's grades, transcripts, or diploma because of an unpaid balance on the student's school account and that at the end of each school year, the school district shall catalogue and report to the State Board the total amount that remains unpaid by students due to the prohibition.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Provides that a school board may not discriminate against, punish, or penalize a student in any way because of an unpaid balance on the student's school account. Includes age and developmentally appropriate consent education (rather than consent education) as part of the comprehensive health education program; makes related changes.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
In the School Code, adds additional members to the School Code Mandate Reduction Council. Provides that, on and after January 1, 2027, the members of the Council shall be reduced by 4 members.
