Bill > HB1221

This bill directs the Commission to Study Costs of Special Education to investigate whether creating centralized school administrative unit locations across the state could help reduce expenses related to special education staffing while maintaining classroom integration. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to the existing law that requires the commission to examine whether centralized locations might help offset the costs of full-time special education staff. The bill also includes provisions for repealing the commission to study special education, with different sections of the bill taking effect at different times: section 2 will take effect on June 30, 2026, section 3 will take effect on July 1, 2027, and the remainder of the bill will take effect immediately upon passage. The goal appears to be exploring potential cost-saving strategies for special education services while ensuring that students continue to receive integrated educational support.
