Substitute House Bill No. 5182, also known as Public Act No. 24-29, is an act that makes technical revisions to education and early childhood statutes. The bill includes changes such as the deletion of a comma in Section 10-4a to clarify language about educational opportunities, and the correction of member designations in the Connecticut Advisory Council for Teacher Professional Standards by changing "secondary school teacher" to "secondary school teachers." It also revises statutes concerning reimbursement for locally sourced food, tuition for magnet schools, and the definition of an eligible paraeducator. The Department of Education is tasked with developing an informational handout for students with individualized education programs or Section 504 plans, which must be translated into multiple languages and include a glossary of common tools.

The bill also amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to include transition service needs in the IEP for children requiring special education starting at age fourteen or younger if appropriate. It outlines the creation of a written bill of rights for parents of children receiving special education services and mandates the translation of information into the primary language of parents or guardians. The State Board of Education is required to provide transition resources, and local or regional boards of education must create student success plans starting in grade six. The bill addresses school climate improvement plans and the role of the school climate coordinator. Additionally, it amends Section 10-222hh to require a meeting within two days of an incident of challenging behavior to determine necessary supports and interventions, and Section 10-222jj to mandate the adoption of a restorative practices response policy for nonviolent incidents, excluding law enforcement involvement unless necessary. The bill was approved on May 21, 2024.
