It is the intent of the General Assembly to increase the educational level of
deaf and hard of hearing persons by assuring them an equal opportunity to
obtain an education in the public postsecondary institutions.
The public postsecondary institutions shall make their programs accessible to
deaf and hard of hearing students by providing support services necessary for
such students to fully participate in the programs. The support services shall
include but not be limited to interpreters and notetakers in the classroom and
equal access to all support services available to those who are not deaf or hard
of hearing. Appropriate assistive listening devices and alerting devices shall be
available in dormitories housing deaf or hard of hearing students.
(a) The General Assembly shall appropriate funds to the Office of Vocational
Rehabilitation excluding costs of capital equipment or modifications for
installation of assistive listening or alerting devices to cover the costs of
support services at the institutions for students who are deaf or hard of
hearing.
(b) The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation shall administer funding of support
services at institutions for students who are deaf or hard of hearing
contingent on General Assembly funding. The postsecondary institutions
and the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation shall cooperate to assure that
funds are used to effectively provide support services to students who are
deaf and hard of hearing.
(c) The funds shall be distributed to institutions based upon actual costs or
established fees for service of providing support services to individual
students.
