Bill > HB1379

This bill modifies the reporting deadline for the annual special education complaint and findings report in New Hampshire. Currently, the report is due by July 1st each year, but the bill changes this deadline to September 1st, starting in 2026. The report will continue to be published on the department's website and distributed to key stakeholders, including the office of special education advocate, the state advisory council on the education of children with disabilities, and the chairs of the house and senate education committees. The report will still summarize state complaint data, maintaining the existing requirement for comprehensive reporting. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing a clear transition period for the state education department to adjust to the new reporting timeline. This change may allow more time for thorough data collection and analysis before the annual report is finalized and distributed.
