This bill amends the definition of "student with a disability" in the North Dakota Century Code, specifically in section 15.1-32-01. The updated definition clarifies that a "student with a disability" is an individual aged three to twenty-one who requires special education and related services due to various conditions.

Key changes include the modification of the term "deaf or hard of hearing" to replace the previous phrasing "deaf impairment, including deafness," and the adjustment of "emotional disturbance" to "emotional disability." Additionally, the phrase "other health impairment" has been revised to "An other health impairment." These changes aim to provide clearer and more inclusive language regarding the disabilities that qualify for special education services.
