A student who contends that there has been a violation of the Braille Access Act [22-15-26 to 22-15-31 NMSA 1978] has the right to pursue a private right of action in the district court if the student has exhausted the administrative complaint process. Organizations representing the interests of persons who are blind or who have other disabilities shall have standing to assert any right afforded in the Braille Access Act and shall be subject to the same requirements and terms as a student. Should the student or organization prevail in a lawsuit, the student or organization shall be entitled to injunctive relief and reasonable attorney fees and costs. No other type of monetary damages shall be available.
