To authorize appropriations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act to achieve full funding in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003,
and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 13, 2001
Mr. VITTER introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Education and the Workforce
A BILL
To authorize appropriations for the Individuals with Disabil-
ities Education Act to achieve full funding in fiscal year
2002 and fiscal year 2003, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘IDEA Keeping Our
Commitment Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1975, Congress passed the Education for
All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (enacted as
Public Law 94–142), now known as the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et
seq.), which established a Federal commitment to
provide schools with 40 percent of the national aver-
age per pupil expenditure for the purpose of edu-
cating children with disabilities.
(2) To date, the Federal Government has never
contributed more than 14.9 percent of the maximum
State grant allocation for educating children with
disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act.
(3) The failure by the Federal Government to
fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Edu-
cation Act has forced State and local governments to
divert funding from other worthy projects, including
school construction and hiring additional teachers, in
order to pay for the full costs of educating children
with disabilities.
(4) Each year, State and local educational
agencies are forced to spend precious resources to
simply comply with numerous reporting require-
ments called for under the Individuals with Disabil-
ities Education Act.
(5) Although Congress has increased Federal
funding for special education by 129 percent since
1995, the failure by the Federal Government to fully
fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
constitutes a de facto unfunded Federal mandate on
the States.
SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this Act to reach the Federal Gov-
ernment’s goal of providing 40 percent of the national av-
erage per pupil expenditure for the purpose of educating
all children with disabilities in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal
year 2003.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE IN-
DIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION
ACT.
Section 611(j) of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1411(j)) is amended to read
as follows:
‘‘(j) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—For the
purpose of carrying out this part, other than section 619,
there are authorized to be appropriated—
‘‘(1) $17,700,000,000 for fiscal year 2002; and
‘‘(2) $18,400,000,000 for fiscal year 2003.’’.
