AI Summary

Specifically, it updates the existing definition of special education to clarify that it means specially designed instruction developed according to the state commissioner's regulations and approved by the State Board of Education. The instruction would be provided at no cost to parents or guardians and is intended to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities. The definition encompasses instruction in various settings including classrooms, homes, hospitals, institutions, and other locations, and includes physical education, special classes, programs, services, and related services designed to support exceptional children. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and focuses on refining the legal language around special education services to ensure clarity and comprehensive support for students with disabilities.
