IL SB2996

Changes the Illinois Center for Rehabilitation and Education to serve "young adults" (up to age 22) instead of "children" (up to age 21) with severe physical disabilities, providing nursing, medical care, and academic and occupational training.

Defines "Director" as the head of the designated State unit responsible for administering rehabilitation services and the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and removes the separate definition of "vocational rehabilitation administrator."

Requires school districts to notify parents in writing when a child is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or diagnosed with an orthopedic or physical disability and may be eligible for services from the Illinois Center for Rehabilitation and Education, and to inform parents of other local schools providing similar services.

Makes minor grammatical changes throughout the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities Act and School Code, including updating references from singular "he" to "he or she" and changing "30 day" to "30-day."
