Establishes Autism Education Council.

This bill establishes the Autism Education Council within New Jersey's Department of Education to improve support for autistic students in public schools. The council, composed of seven members including education officials and community representatives, will award annual grants (starting in 2025) using $9.6 million of a $10 million annual state appropriation. Grants fund teacher training, hiring paraprofessionals, and supplemental services like after-school programs for autistic children. The council must monitor grant impacts and report annually to the Governor and Legislature on how funds are used and their effectiveness. The bill directly affects public school districts, educators, and autistic students by expanding access to specialized autism education resources.
