OFFICE OF FISCAL ANALYSIS Legislative Office Building, Room 5200 Hartford, CT 06106 (860) 240-0200 http://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa sSB-232 AN ACT CONCERNING AN ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION EXPENDITURES BY LOCAL AND REGIONAL BOARDS OF EDUCATION. Primary Analyst: SB 4/25/22 Contributing Analyst(s): OFA Fiscal Note State Impact: None Municipal Impact: None Explanation The bill requires the State Department of Education (SDE) to gather information from local and regional school districts concerning lowering the threshold for the excess cost special education grant and results in no fiscal impact. The bill provides a sufficient time for the SDE to gather the data and the SDE has the expertise to determine the impact. Since local and regional school districts already provide the data for the current threshold, there is no impact to districts in providing further data. The Out Years State Impact: None Municipal Impact: None
