Assembly Bill 1150 amends the requirements for private schools participating in the Special Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP) regarding the implementation of individualized education programs (IEPs) or services plans for children with disabilities. The bill removes the provision that allowed for modifications to the IEP or services plan by agreement between the private school and the child's parent. Instead, it mandates that the private school must implement the child's most recent IEP or services plan without modifications. Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for private schools to provide records related to the implementation of the IEP upon request from the resident school board.

The bill also retains the provision that allows private schools to submit a financial statement to the Department of Public Instruction to document costs incurred in complying with the IEP requirements. If submitted, this financial statement enables the private school to receive an annual SNSP payment that exceeds the standard amount set by law. The changes outlined in this bill will first apply to the 2026-27 school year.
