AN ACT CONCERNING SPECIAL EDUCATION.
HB 7218 makes a technical grammatical correction to the legal definition of "special education" in Connecticut law, updating Section 10-76a(4) without changing any actual program requirements or services. The revised definition clarifies existing language about specially designed instruction for students with disabilities, including settings like classrooms, homes, and hospitals. This change has no fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets and takes effect on July 1, 2025. The bill does not alter educational services, funding, or eligibility for students or families.
