AI Summary
This bill, the IDEA Full Funding Act, amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to provide full federal funding for Part B of the Act, which assists states and territories in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities. The bill authorizes and appropriates funding levels that would increase from approximately $14 billion (16.2% of the total IDEA funding formula) in fiscal year 2020 to $43.3 billion (40% of the total IDEA funding formula) in fiscal year 2029 and each subsequent fiscal year. This increased funding is intended to meet the federal government's commitment to provide 40% of the average per-pupil expenditure for children with disabilities, as originally envisioned when IDEA was first enacted.
