HF 2631: Relating to the use of moneys appropriated to support therapeutic classrooms, and including effective date provisions

What it does

For FY 2023-2024, the general assembly appropriated $500,000 to the department of education for payment of school district claims for transportation reimbursement submitted in connection with therapeutic classroom services. This bill authorizes the deposit of moneys that remain unencumbered or unobligated after the completion of such payments into the therapeutic classroom incentive fund created in Code section 256.25, as determined by the department. That fund is used to distribute grants to school districts under the therapeutic classroom incentive grant program.
