Bill > HB2151

This bill establishes the Federal Education Guidance Disclosure Act, which requires the State Department of Education to publish guidance documents received from the U.S. Department of Education on a designated website within five days of receipt, with some exceptions for sensitive or confidential information. The bill defines a "guidance document" broadly as a federal agency statement of general applicability that sets forth a policy or interpretation on a statutory, regulatory, or technical issue, which can include memoranda, notices, bulletins, directives, letters, or no-action letters. The State Department of Education must create the website within 90 days of the act's effective date, include conspicuous hyperlinks to the documents, and if a guidance document is rescinded, maintain the document on the website and indicate its rescission status within 15 days. The legislation aims to increase transparency by making federal education guidance readily accessible to the public, with an effective date of November 1, 2025. The bill requires the department to keep both current and rescinded guidance documents available, ensuring that stakeholders can track changes in federal education policy guidance.
