AI Summary
This joint resolution calls on the United States Congress to protect special education funding and services for students with disabilities, highlighting the critical role of federal programs like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The resolution emphasizes that California receives over $1.5 billion in federal IDEA funding, which supports educational services for students with disabilities, and notes that federal Medicaid funding is also crucial for providing specialized services like speech and physical therapy. The California Legislature is urging Congress to oppose any funding reductions that could negatively impact educational services for students with disabilities and to ensure that existing services and funding remain uninterrupted. The resolution also points out the significant number of pending civil rights cases related to disability discrimination and the potential consequences of workforce reductions in the U.S. Department of Education. As part of the resolution, the Chief Clerk of the Assembly is instructed to distribute copies of this resolution to key federal government officials, including the President, Vice President, congressional leadership, and California's congressional representatives.
