MO HB2304

Local educational agencies must obtain written or electronic parental consent before initial IEP placement, placement changes, removal of services, or changes to service minutes by more than 25%

When parents and schools cannot agree on an IEP within 10 school days, areas of agreement must be implemented while disputes are resolved within 20 school days (extendable by another 20 days with mutual consent)

Parents have the right to visit any proposed program or classroom before consenting to IEP changes, scheduled outside regular school hours or at a mutually agreed time

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must create a standardized parental consent form with options for full consent, no consent, or partial consent, provided in the parent's native language

Provisions become effective July 1, 2027, and do not apply to IEP changes resulting from student conduct code violations
