Senate Bill No. 1467 mandates the Commissioner of Education to conduct a comprehensive review of the tuition rates charged by all providers of special education services to local and regional boards of education in the state. This review will encompass various aspects, including the determination of rates, oversight mechanisms, variances in rates, governance structures of providers, and the potential for implementing a fee-for-service model based on the diagnosis of service recipients. The bill requires the commissioner to solicit feedback from local and regional boards of education regarding the rates they are currently paying for these services.

The findings from this review must be compiled into a report and submitted to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by February 15, 2026. The bill incurs a one-time cost of up to $100,000 in FY 26 for the State Department of Education, primarily for hiring a consultant to assist with the review process. The bill also includes a minor amendment for accuracy, changing "private special education providers" to "private providers of special education services, as defined in section 10-91g of the general statutes."
