HB 1164: AN ACT to amend and reenact subdivision a of subsection 5 of section 15.1-32-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to definitions of terms used for special education.

HB 1164 revises North Dakota's definition of "Student with a disability" in special education law to clarify which students qualify for services. The bill explicitly lists 11 specific disability categories, including autism, deafness, learning disabilities, and traumatic brain injury, that now qualify for special education support. This change directly affects students aged 3-21 in North Dakota public schools who require specialized instruction due to these conditions. The bill was signed into law by Governor on March 21, 2025, and filed with the Secretary of State.
