Bill > HB1099

This bill establishes a legislative committee to comprehensively study private businesses that provide special and behavioral education services to school-age children, with a specific focus on understanding the financial and administrative complexities of how local school districts are reimbursed for these services. The committee will consist of one state senator and four state representatives who will investigate several key areas, including mechanisms for reimbursing school districts when private businesses use their resources, determining student residency status when businesses provide room and board, exploring funding scenarios for special education services across different jurisdictional situations, and examining reimbursement requirements for districts providing services when the state or a non-profit organization is involved. The committee is required to hold its first meeting within 60 days of the bill's effective date and must submit a detailed report with findings and potential legislative recommendations to key legislative leaders by November 1, 2026, with three members constituting a quorum for conducting committee business. The bill is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the complex landscape of special education service provision and ensure fair and appropriate financial treatment of local school districts.
