Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize funding for section 619 and part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
AI Summary
This bill, the "Funding Early Childhood is the Right IDEA Act," aims to authorize increased funding for Section 619 and Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Section 619 provides grants to states for preschool programs serving children with disabilities ages 3 to 5, while Part C establishes a grant program to aid states in implementing early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The bill proposes gradually increasing the authorized funding levels for these programs over the next five fiscal years, from $503 million to $1.22 billion for Section 619, and from $932 million to $1.731 billion for Part C, with the goal of restoring the per-child funding amounts to their previous levels and ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality early intervention and preschool special education services.
