Public Act 103-0504, which was effective January 1, 2024, requires IEP teams to determine if a student has registered for the PUNS list and requires schools to provide various information to the family if the student is not registered. The legislation required the Illinois Department of Human Services and Illinois State Board of Education to develop an online training program that includes information about the PUNS database, how to register for the database, and about organizations that offer assistance to families in understanding PUNS and the registration process.
