SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The ORR UC Bureau is proposing a new form, the Individualized Section 504 Service Plan (Form S-25). The proposed information collection is necessary to allow the ORR UC Bureau to comply with a court order and improve service delivery for unaccompanied children identified as having a disability. On June 29, 2018, Plaintiffs filed their federal class action lawsuit in the Central District of California, western division, captioned Lucas R. et al. v. Becerra et al. (Case No. 2:18-CV-05741 DMG PLA), asserting claims under the Flores Consent Decree, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, the Due Process clause, and the First Amendment. Plaintiffs allege violation of unaccompanied children rights in decisions regarding family reunification, placement in restrictive facilities, services for children with disabilities, administration of psychotropic medication, and access to legal assistance. On May 3, 2024, the Court granted final approval for the settlement agreements of the Plaintiffs' claims for disabilities, psychotropic medication, and legal assistance. As part of the settlement agreement for the disabilities claim, ORR is required to develop and implement individualized Section 504 service plans for any child identified as having a disability. The disabilities settlement agreement must be fully implemented by May 3, 2025.
