Bill > HR6032

This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to fully fund the federal government's original promise under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a cornerstone law enacted in 1975 (originally as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) to ensure children with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education. The federal government committed to covering 40% of the average per-pupil costs for special education services, but has consistently failed to meet this commitment, forcing states and local school districts to bear the majority of the financial burden, often leading to cuts in other educational programs or increased taxes.
