This bill mandates that the state board of education must report the financial implications for local school districts that arise from compliance with rules that surpass state or federal special education standards. Specifically, it requires the board to include in its report the rule number, the nature of the rule, any state or federal minimum requirements that are exceeded, and the unfunded financial impact on local school districts due to these rules.

To implement this requirement, the bill amends RSA 186-C:16-c, I(a) by inserting language that specifies the need to report the unfunded financial impact on local school districts for rules exceeding state or federal minimum requirements. The bill will take effect 30 days after its passage.
