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.
