2026 session. Prime sponsor: Matthew Hicks (D). Status: Sent to interim study.
The Department of Education would have to give the legislature and post on its website a report on the costs of special education and related services for children with an individual education program. Costs would be broken down by school district and by provider type, including charter schools, joint maintenance agreements, state facilities, and private providers, and would include related transportation. If the department lacks some data, it would publish what it has and make rules requiring districts to report the rest.
The House referred the bill to the Education Policy and Administration Committee, which held a hearing on February 2, 2026, and voted 15-1 on February 18 to send it to interim study. The House approved interim study by voice vote on March 5. On October 21, 2026, the interim study report found the bill not recommended for future legislation, by a vote of 11-1.
