AN ACT CONCERNING THE FULL FUNDING OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION EXCESS COST GRANT.

HB 6210 would require the state to fully reimburse local and regional school boards for all special education excess costs - removing a current funding cap that previously limited reimbursement. This change ensures schools receive the full amount needed to cover costs beyond standard education funding for students with disabilities. The bill directly affects school districts by eliminating their financial burden for these excess expenses, as the grant will now be fully funded without arbitrary limits. It does not alter eligibility or create new programs, only changing the reimbursement mechanism to cover 100% of qualifying costs.
