Take a grade on the notes immediately after you go through them (this can be as simpleas walking around and looking at them while they're working independently). For students with IEPs, just reduce the requirement for what they have to add. Maybe even have a SPED teacher or aide make a modified version for those kids.
Then, give the IEP students their required copy AFTER you go through it with the class. If they didn't make ANY effort to take notes themselves, then they still get them and you've fulfilled your legal obligation, but they don't get credit for the note-taking grade.
The regular ed students who rebel will learn quickly that they need to actually take notes as the bad grades pile up.
Sharing notes because of an IEP is not required daily. You can also create notes with blanks where the students have to pay attention and fill-in the missing information.
