House Bill No. 7218, titled "An Act Concerning Special Education," proposes a technical amendment to the definition of "special education" in section 10-76a of the general statutes. The bill repeals the existing subdivision (4) and substitutes it with new language that clarifies the scope of special education services. The revised definition emphasizes that special education includes specially designed instruction tailored to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities, and it specifies that such instruction can occur in various settings, including classrooms, homes, hospitals, and institutions, as well as in physical education and special classes or programs.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as indicated in the fiscal note. The Education Committee has reported the bill favorably, reflecting a majority support for the grammatical change intended to enhance clarity in the special education statutes.
