Reduce repeat disability paperwork for college accommodations

AI-assisted summary

Senator Hassan supports the RISE Act, which would let students with disabilities use documentation that already qualified them for accommodations instead of obtaining duplicate documentation to access accommodations in college. She says the change would reduce unnecessary paperwork and costly, time-consuming tests and help ease the transition from high school to college. The bill advanced from the Senate HELP Committee in July, but has not been enacted.

Context: The proposal concerns documentation for accommodations in higher education; the passage does not specify which prior documentation would qualify.
