AI Summary

  • Memorializes the 117th U.S. Congress and the President to enact S. 3213, the IDEA Full Funding Act, to fully fund the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

  • Notes that the federal government authorized 40 percent funding of average per-pupil expenditures for special education since 1975 but has never paid the promised share, funding less than 8 percent in recent years.

  • States that federal underfunding forces states and local school districts to cover remaining costs, leading to program cuts and tax increases.

  • References previous unsuccessful bills including H.R. 2902 (2017) and S. 866 (2019), both aimed at reaching 40 percent funding through incremental increases over time.

  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Vice President, congressional leadership, relevant committees, California's congressional delegation, and the U.S. Secretary of Education.
