BILL NUMBER:S7608
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 352 of the laws of 2005, amending the education law relating to implementation of the federal individuals with disabilities education improvement act of 2004, in relation to extending the expiration; to amend chapter 430 of the laws of 2006, amending the education law relating to implementation of the federal individuals with disabilities education improvement act of 2004, in relation to extending the expiration; and to amend chapter 378 of the laws of 2007, amending the education law relating to the implementation of the federal individuals with disabilities education improvement act of 2004, in relation to extending the effectiveness thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill conforms the provisions of the Education Law to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in order to assure that New York State will continue to be in compliance with requirements of IDEA in the 2012-13 school year. This is a condition of federal funding.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 extends for three years until 2015 provisions of the Education Law relating to implementation of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act.
Justification
This bill conforms the Education law to the IDEA which the federal government requires as a condition of funding under IDEA. The provisions of law that now conform Education Law to IDEA will sunset on June 30, 2012. Without an extender, New York's allocation of funds under IDEA could be in jeopardy. This bill therefore extends provisions of the Education Law for three years until 2015.
Prior legislative history
New bill.
Fiscal implications
None. Failure to continue the necessary provisions of law could place New York's allocation of funds under IDEA in jeopardy.
Effective date
This bill shall become effective on and after June 30, 2012.
