What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) provides state categorical aid for

certain costs of educating and transporting pupils enrolled in special education and

of school age parents programs. DPI also provides additional categorical aid if a

school board, board of control of a cooperative educational service agency, county

children with disabilities education board, or operator of independent charter school

spends more than $30,000 of nonadministrative costs to provide special education

services to a child and those costs are not eligible for reimbursement under the state

special education program, the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act,

or the federal Medicaid program. This bill increases the amounts appropriated for

both of these state categorical aids in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
