Governor Ayotte signed one bill into law on Monday, making changes to how charter schools coordinate special education services with their local school districts. The law takes effect in stages: the special education provision kicks in June 27, 2026, while other provisions are effective immediately.
Signed into Law
Education
- HB 222: Removes the requirement for a formal memorandum of understanding between charter schools and school districts covering how students with disabilities receive special education services. Supporters say it reduces administrative burden; the change raises questions about how service agreements will be maintained without a required written agreement. The bill also restructures the Department of Corrections.
