This bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 72-3404 to redefine the term "other health impairment" in the context of special education. The new definition includes children with fetal alcohol syndrome disorder, alongside other health issues such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, and diabetes, that result in limited strength, vitality, or alertness, adversely affecting a child's educational performance. The bill aims to ensure that children with these conditions are recognized and provided with the necessary special education services.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 72-3404, indicating a significant update to the legal framework governing special education in Kansas. By incorporating fetal alcohol syndrome disorder into the definition of "other health impairment," the legislation seeks to enhance the support and resources available for affected children, thereby promoting their educational success and well-being.
