This bill amends the reporting date for the annual report on special education complaints and findings. Specifically, it changes the publication date from July 1st to September 1st, starting in the year 2026. The revised introductory paragraph of RSA 186-C:5-a, III reflects this change, with the deletion of "July" and the insertion of "September."
In addition to the date change, the bill mandates that the annual report be made publicly available on the department's website and distributed to relevant stakeholders, including the office of special education advocate, the state advisory council on the education of children with disabilities, and the chairmen of the house and senate education committees. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approval date of April 3, 2026, and an effective date of June 2, 2026.
