Request interim study on special education

This joint resolution requests an interim study on Montana's special education system. It directs the Legislative Council to form a committee to examine special education law, funding, teacher availability, and student needs, collaborating with school districts, parents, and advocacy groups. The committee must complete its work by September 15, 2026, and report findings to the 70th Legislature. The resolution does not create new laws or change funding; it aims to improve legislative understanding of this complex policy area. This study directly affects future state education policy decisions made by Montana legislators.
