The bill establishes a Developmental Delay Age Limit Working Group within the Minnesota Department of Education. This group is tasked with reviewing current laws that restrict eligibility for special education services for children aged seven and older who have developmental delays. The working group will assess the potential impact of extending eligibility to children under the age of nine and is required to report its findings and recommendations to the relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2026.

The working group will consist of appointed members, including representatives from various educational and psychological organizations, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. The commissioner of education is responsible for convening the initial meeting and providing administrative support. Members will serve without compensation, and the group will dissolve either on February 1, 2026, or upon submission of its report, whichever comes first. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
