School aid: supplemental; funding for special education classes; provide for. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1701b.

HB 4869 mandates that Michigan's legislature appropriate at least $2.6 billion annually starting in the 2025-2026 fiscal year to fund special education services for public school students. This funding directly supports school districts providing services under specific sections of Michigan's State School Aid Act (MCL 388.1651a, 388.1651c, 388.1651d, 388.1651e, 388.1653a, 388.1654, and 388.1656). The bill requires the state to set aside this specific amount each year for special education programs, rather than relying on existing funding formulas. It applies to all public school districts serving students with disabilities under the referenced statutes. The bill was introduced on September 11, 2025, and referred to the Appropriations Committee.
