urging the U.S. Congress to fully fund the federal government's original funding promise under the individuals with disabilities education act

This Kansas House resolution urges the U.S. Congress to fulfill its original promise to fund 40% of the average per-student costs for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The bill directly affects state and local school districts, which currently must cover the remaining costs because the federal government has never paid its promised share. By requesting this federal funding, the resolution aims to relieve the financial burden on states and localities, which often leads to cuts in other educational programs or tax increases. The text does not create new laws but serves as a formal request to the federal government to meet its existing funding commitment.
