SPECIAL ED ADVISORY COMMITTEE - H.B. 4990: FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4990 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Wayne Kuipers
House Committee: Education
Senate Committee: Education
CONTENT
The bill would amend Public Act 287 of 1964, which provides for the appointment and functions of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to increase the size of the Special Education Advisory Committee by five members, from 27 to 33 appointees.
Under the Act, the committee functions as an adviser to the State Board of Education in the field of special education. Committee members are appointed by the Board for three-year terms.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Department would likely face slightly higher costs associated with this legislation. Higher costs would result from reimbursing expenses incurred by a larger number of advisory committee members than are appointed under current law. The bill would have no fiscal impact on local government.
