It covers people with disabilities who are age 18 or older and still eligible for FAPE under federal and District law. You must be in DOC custody and detained in a secure facility. Services follow the federal special education law (IDEA) and District rules.
Emergency law: quick start, 90-day limit
The law applies as of May 30, 2025. It takes effect after the Mayor approves it or after a Council veto override. As an emergency law, it lasts no more than 90 days after it starts. This timing controls when the special education mandate begins and ends.
