## Summary

**Standardizes how colleges recognize disability status and requires clearer accommodation policies.** This bill would make it easier for students to use high school and prior records to establish eligibility for campus accommodations, expand what data colleges must report about students registered with disability services, and fund a national technical support center. - Students with disabilities: Students would face less paperwork when seeking campus accommodations because institutions must accept IEPs, Section 504 plans, licensed professional evaluations, prior college documentation, and service-related disability records as valid evidence. - Colleges and disability offices: Institutions would have to post accessible, transparent policies on how they determine eligibility for reasonable accommodations and may still adopt less burdensome criteria. They must also collect and report counts of registered students and those receiving accommodations. - Policymakers and researchers: Federal data systems like IPEDS would receive new measures on undergraduate and graduate students registered with disability services, including counts and degree awards, while excluding any small cell data that would reveal an individual. *Authorizes $10 million per year for 2027–2031 to support a National Center, authorizing up to $50 million over five years and increasing potential federal spending by that amount.*
