To authorize appropriations for part B of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act to achieve full funding for part B of that Act by 2006.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 3, 2001
Mr. TANCREDO introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Education and the Workforce
A BILL
To authorize appropriations for part B of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act to achieve full funding
for part B of that Act by 2006.
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 ‘‘Keeping Our Promises
to Special Education Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Education for All Handicapped Chil-
dren Act of 1975 (Public Law 94–142) was enacted
to provide a free and quality education to children
with disabilities. In enacting this unfunded mandate
on the States and localities, the Federal government
pledged to contribute 40 percent of the average per
pupil expenditure of educating children with disabil-
ities.
(2) Under that Act and its successor Act, the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20
U.S.C. 1400 et seq.), the Federal government has
fallen far short of meeting such contribution, pro-
viding only 11 or 12 percent of the average per pupil
expenditure of educating children with disabilities.
(3) Without this critical contribution from the
Federal Government, States and local educational
agencies have been forced to divert funds from other
important programs to meet the mandate of the In-
dividuals with Disabilities Education Act.
(4) The Federal government should first and
foremost fulfill its long-standing obligation under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to con-
tribute 40 percent of the average per pupil expendi-
ture of educating children with disabilities. By pro-
viding such contribution, local educational agencies
will be able to provide more funding for local special
education services or other priorities, such as im-
proving school technology and hiring more teachers.
SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this Act to reach the Federal Gov-
ernment’s goal under part B of the Individuals with Dis-
abilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1411 et seq.) of pro-
viding 40 percent of the national average per pupil ex-
penditure to assist States and local educational agencies
with the excess costs of educating children with disabil-
ities.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR PART B
OF THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
EDUCATION ACT.
Notwithstanding section 611(j) of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1412(j)), for
the purpose of carrying out part B of such Act, other than
section 619, there are authorized to be appropriated—
(1) $9,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2002;
(2) $12,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2003;
(3) $15,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2004;
(4) $18,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2005;
(5) $21,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2006; and
(6) such sums as may be necessary for each
subsequent fiscal year.
