What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Special Education Administration Protection Act." It aims to prevent the Secretary of Education from transferring the functions of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services to the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill prohibits the Department of Education from procuring services, contracting, or entering into agreements with the Department of Health and Human Services regarding these specific functions. It also limits the applicability of certain laws to these functions. However, an exception is made for any existing agreements or procurements that were already in place as of February 1, 2025.
