The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6790, aims to amend title 10 of the general statutes to incorporate civics education into the special education curriculum. This inclusion is intended to ensure that students with special needs receive instruction on civic rights and responsibilities, thereby equipping them with essential knowledge for active participation in civic life.

Additionally, the bill proposes to allocate funding to assist schools in developing or adapting civics courses that are specifically designed to be accessible and engaging for special needs students. The overarching goal is to foster an inclusive educational environment that encourages full participation of these students in civic activities.
