Creates special education unit within the Office of Administrative Law; requires annual report.

This bill creates a dedicated special education unit within New Jersey's Office of Administrative Law (OAL), staffed by administrative law judges with specialized expertise in special education law. All contested special education cases referred to the OAL must now be assigned to this unit for resolution, ensuring cases are handled by judges with relevant experience. The bill requires the OAL to submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing case volumes, resolution times, staffing levels, and recommendations for adjusting judge assignments to meet federal and state deadlines. Additionally, it mandates a new system for tracking due process petitions, allowing families and advocates to monitor case status online.
