Provides that, with respect to a student enrolled in the Chicago school district for or to whom appropriate special education or related services may have been delayed or denied in the 2016-2017 or 2017-2018 school year as a result of the adoption of policies and procedures identified by the State Board of Education as unlawful, the school district must provide a written notification no later than 30 days after the first school day of the 2019-2020 school year to (i) the parent or guardian of the student, (ii) a designated representative of the student, (iii) the student if he or she is an emancipated minor, or (iv) the student if he or she has reached the age of majority and does not have a designated representative that states that appropriate relief may be available through a State complaint procedure authorized under the School Code, State-sponsored mediation, or an impartial due process hearing under the Code. Specifies what the notification must include. Changes the effective date to immediate (rather than July 1, 2019).

Provides that a complainant has no less than 2 years following the finalization (rather than creation) of the State Board of Education's student-specific corrective action plan per the State Board's 2017-2018 Public Inquiry Team's Corrective Action Report (rather than compensatory education plan) and notification of that plan to parents and guardians of potentially impacted (rather than only impacted) children to file a complaint concerning delays and denials of special education services; makes conforming changes.

Requires a respondent to include corrective action compliance documentation with all other documentation provided to a complainant. Effective July 1, 2019.
