This bill protects the Department of Education's offices that handle programs for students with disabilities. Specifically, it prevents the government from using federal money to shut down, merge, or restructure any Department of Education office that runs or enforces disability programs—including special education services and job training for people with disabilities. The bill also stops the government from firing, moving, or changing the job duties of workers in these offices in ways that would prevent them from meeting their legal responsibilities. Additionally, it prohibits the Department of Education from outsourcing these disability programs to private companies or other organizations outside the department.

The bill was introduced because Congress wants to make clear that the executive branch cannot unilaterally dismantle or weaken these disability services. Two key offices are specifically protected: the Office of Special Education Programs (which handles K-12 special education) and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (which helps people with disabilities prepare for and find work). By passing this bill, Congress is essentially saying that these offices must stay in place and continue operating as Congress originally intended when it created these disability protection laws.
