AN ACT ENTITLING TOWNS TO FULL REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THE EXCESS COST GRANT.

SB 879 amends state law to require full reimbursement for towns under the excess cost grant program for special education expenses. This directly affects towns and local school districts that currently receive partial reimbursement for costs exceeding standard funding levels. The key change ensures towns receive 100% of eligible costs covered, rather than a portion, for special education services. The bill aims to reduce financial burdens on local governments by eliminating partial cost-sharing for qualifying special education expenditures.
