Creates the teacher training initiative fund for autism; appropriation

This bill establishes a new fund called the Teacher Training Initiative Fund for Autism to support professional development for educators. It directly affects the state's education system by creating a dedicated pool of money to train current teachers and those preparing to become teachers on how to instruct students with autism. The legislation appropriates an initial $10 million from the state's general fund and requires the Commissioner of Education to develop specific rules and a training program to manage these resources. All funds must be spent within the fiscal year they are received, and their use is subject to approval by the state comptroller.
