The bill amends Chapter 71 of the Acts of 2021 by adding a new section focused on neurodiversity education. It mandates the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, in collaboration with the Department of Early Education and Care, to create guidelines for K-12 education on neurodiversity, contingent upon available funding. Additionally, the bill establishes a commission tasked with studying and making recommendations regarding neurodiversity education across early childhood, elementary, and secondary public schools.

The commission will consist of nine members, including the secretary of health and human services (or a designee as chair), one member from the House of Representatives, one member from the Senate, and three members appointed by the governor—two of whom must be neurodiverse adults. Other members will include representatives from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Department of Early Education and Care, and the Massachusetts American Federation of Teachers. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations, including potential legislative or regulatory changes, to the governor and legislative clerks within four months of the act's effective date.
