PA HB2167

Replaces the term "approved private school" with "approved special education school" throughout Pennsylvania's Public School Code of 1949, affecting sections related to tuition, maintenance costs, and funding for exceptional children

Requires the State Board of Education to initiate a final-omitted regulation within 30 days to update terminology in 22 Pa. Code Ch. 14, and the Department of Education to do the same within 60 days for 22 Pa. Code Chs. 171 and 711

Establishes that all existing statutory references, regulations, and appropriations using "approved private school" shall automatically be deemed to reference "approved special education school"

Makes no substantive changes to funding formulas, tuition payment structures, or operational requirements for these schools—the bill is purely an editorial/terminology update

Takes effect immediately upon enactment
