Proposed Bill No. 5062, introduced in the February Session, 2024, by various representatives, aims to amend section 10-76g of the general statutes. The bill seeks to ensure that the excess cost grant for special education is fully funded according to the most recent estimates provided by the Department of Education. This amendment would potentially increase the financial support provided to towns for special education services, ensuring that the grants cover the excess costs as estimated by the department.

The purpose of the bill is explicitly stated as a measure to guarantee that all towns receive full funding for the special education excess cost grants. The bill does not include specific insertions or deletions of legal language but rather proposes a general amendment to the existing statute to achieve complete funding as per the Department of Education's latest calculations.
