HB 2167 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, making editorial changes to delete references to "approved private school" for the purpose of adding references to "approved special education school."

HB 2167 is a purely editorial amendment to Pennsylvania's Public School Code of 1949. It updates references from "approved private school" to "approved special education school" in multiple sections (including Section 1376) that govern funding for students with disabilities. The bill makes no changes to funding formulas, payment amounts, or eligibility rules - only correcting outdated terminology to specifically reference special education schools. This adjustment ensures the law accurately reflects the type of institutions providing specialized education services.
