This bill (A2413) requires tuition rates for private residential and non-residential schools providing special education services to disabled students (and special act school districts) to increase annually by the same percentage as the state's general support for public schools. It directly affects these private schools and districts by tying their reimbursement rates to public school funding growth starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill amends existing law to mandate this adjustment mechanism, replacing previous cost-of-living adjustments for these specific programs. It does not apply to general public school tuition or other educational programs. The bill was referred to the Education Committee on January 16, 2025.
This bill expands the definition of "period of war" for a veterans' property tax exemption to include recent military service. It adds specific conflicts: the Global War on Terrorism (starting September 11, 2001), and U.S. military operations in Somalia (1992-1994), Bosnia (1995-2004), and Kosovo (1999-1999) to the existing list. Veterans who served during these newly defined periods will now qualify for the tax exemption. The change directly affects veterans whose service falls within these added conflict dates. The bill amends existing law to clarify which military service periods count for the exemption.
