This bill amends federal special education law to give the U.S. Secretary of Education authority to extend paperwork reduction waivers for states. Currently, states can receive waivers from certain administrative requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for up to four years. The bill allows the Secretary to grant multiple extensions of these waivers, with each extension lasting up to four years. This change affects states that work with special education programs and the schools within them by potentially allowing them to continue operating with reduced paperwork burdens for longer periods. The bill does not include any new funding or specify implementation timelines beyond allowing extensions to occur.
