The 21st Briefing: Housing Shift & Special Ed Reform

John Migueis
Affordable HousingSpecial EducationState Matters

A deep dive into a major legislative Monday agenda at the state level, specifically focusing on a housing and development package that would shift planning authority from towns to the state, including bills for accessory dwelling units (S1786) and nonprofit property conversions (S1836).

We also look at a proposed shift in special education funding from census-based formulas to actual student counts (S1767), preview labor hearings on the new ABC test regulations, and look ahead to a high-stakes Department of Education budget hearing on Thursday.

Finally, we cover a consumer protection bill (A4085) aimed at prohibiting “surveillance pricing” based on personal data.
