 (5)(6) If a parent or legal guardian requests a medically necessary service pursuant to the ADA for a student who does not currently have an IEP or 504 plan, the district must initiate the appropriate evaluation to determine if the child is entitled to services under the IDEA or Section 504 in addition to evaluating the ADA request.
 (6)(7) Nothing in this article shall be construed to preclude a school district from utilizing certified educators or other district personnel to provide instructional, behavioral, or therapeutic supports to students as otherwise permitted by law.

Amend the bill further, SECTION 1, Section 59-10-530, by adding a subsection to read:

(C) The Department of Education shall develop and make available training on requesting access and guidance on the provision of services in school settings.
