Blocks transfer of special education services, keeping them with the Education Department.
This bill would stop the Department of Education from moving its special education and rehabilitation services to the Department of Health and Human Services. This means that the office overseeing these services would stay within the Education Department. It would prevent new agreements or transfers of these important functions.
Today, federal agencies can generally transfer functions or enter into agreements with other departments, including for special education services. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Education would be blocked from transferring the work of its special education and rehabilitation office to the Department of Health and Human Services. This would keep these services under the Education Department's direct control, though existing agreements from before February 1, 2025, could continue.
