Plain-language change summary

The updated version of HB 1109 has removed a phrase specifying that the funding of $3,000 for special education evaluations and the development of individualized education programs is "per eligible student." This change streamlines the language and makes it more straightforward, but could also simplify the funding process. Additionally, a clause stating that the act would be null and void if specific funding were not provided by a certain date has been removed, which may reflect confidence that the necessary funding will be secured. This matters because it may impact how quickly and effectively support can be provided to eligible students in need of these services.
