In order to meet the requirement that, beginning July 1, 2028, all school administrative 
units are designated as responsible for child find activities and for ensuring a free, 
appropriate public education for children eligible under Part B, Section 619 pursuant to 
section 7006, the following transition schedule and supports apply. 
1. Transition year one. Beginning July 1, 2024, school administrative units may be

ensuring a free, appropriate public education for children eligible under Part B, Section 
619. The department shall approve readiness plans in accordance with subsection 8 and

activities and for ensuring a free, appropriate public education, the department shall 
establish a memorandum of understanding with the school administrative unit to determine 
the services to be provided by the department and the regional support and service hub. 
The memorandum of understanding must be reviewed and updated in response to 
unanticipated needs each month.  The department shall contract with a national expert to

school years, the commissioner shall approve school administrative units in addition to 
those approved under subsection 1 to assume responsibility for child find activities and for 
ensuring a free, appropriate public education. The department shall provide professional 
learning, funding and technical assistance in the same manner as provided to school 
administrative units in subsection 1.  
3. Additional time for certain school administrative units. If the commissioner 
determines that a school administrative unit is not able to assume responsibility for child 
find activities and for ensuring a free, appropriate public education by July 1, 2028 because 
the school administrative unit requires additional time and support in regions where related 
services and staffing are not available to support the transition, the commissioner shall 
provide that school administrative unit with necessary resources and an additional year to 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT “B” to H.P. 1420, L.D. 2214 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT

child find activities and for ensuring a free, appropriate public education may directly 
provide special education and related services to children eligible under Part B, Section 
619, may contract with public and private providers to provide special education and related 
services and may access the school administrative unit's regional site or regional support 
and service hub to provide certain services as delineated in the memorandum of 
understanding between the school administrative unit and the department. 
5. Transition of Child Development Services System regional sites to regional 
support and service hubs. When a school administrative unit is responsible for child find 
activities and for ensuring a free, appropriate public education, the Child Development 
Services System site in that region shall transition to serve as a regional support and service 
hub to meet the requirements of section 7212 and to make necessary services and supports 
available in accordance with a memorandum of understanding developed between the 
department and the school administrative unit before the transition of responsibility occurs.

established by the statewide association of superintendents. 
6. Annual report. Beginning March 1, 2025 and in each subsequent year of the 
transition phase in subsections 1 to 3, the department shall submit a report to the joint 
standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over education matters. The

units that have assumed responsibility for child find activities and for ensuring a free, 
appropriate public education and progress on the implementation of the transition under 
this section. During the transition, this report must include the annual report requirements 
under section 7006, subsection 5. The joint standing committee of the Legislature having 
jurisdiction over education matters may report out a bill related to the report to the session 
of the Legislature in which the report is received.

System is responsible for ensuring due process and shall pay 100% of costs for 
compensatory services for children eligible under Part B, Section 619 who have been 
underserved through the Child Development Services System. The Child Development

If legally required special education and related services have not been provided or have 
only partially been provided, the Child Development Services System shall schedule an 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT “B” to H.P. 1420, L.D. 2214

parents. The rest of the membership of the parental advisory committees must reflect 
representatives from the regional support and service hubs, school administrative units 
and statewide associations dedicated to assisting parents and families of persons with 
disabilities. Members of the parental advisory committees are not entitled to

extent possible and from a broad array of parents from diverse geographic regions of 
the State, on the implementation of child find activities and the provision of special 
education and related services to children eligible under Part B, Section 619. The Child 
Development Services System shall assist the parental advisory committees in 
establishing a method for parents to communicate directly with the parental advisory
