Read the full statutory text
(a) The state’s participation in Part C of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1431 et seq.) shall be contingent on the receipt of federal funds to cover the costs of complying with the federal statutes and regulations that impose new requirements on the state. The State Department of Developmental Services and the State Department of Education annually shall report to the Department of Finance during preparation of the Governor’s Budget, and the May Revision, the budget year costs and federal funds projected to be available. (b) If the amount of funding provided by the federal government pursuant to Part C of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for the 1993–94 fiscal year, or any fiscal year thereafter, is not sufficient to fund the full increased costs of participation in this federal program by the local educational agencies, as required pursuant to this title, for infants and toddlers from birth to two years of age, inclusive, identified pursuant to Section 95014, and that lack of federal funding would require an increased contribution from the General Fund or a contribution from a local educational agency in order to fund those required and supplemental costs, the state shall terminate its participation in the program. Termination of the program shall occur on July 1 if local educational agencies have been notified of the termination prior to March 10 of that calendar year. If this notification is provided after March 10 of a calendar year, then termination shall not occur earlier than July 1 of the subsequent calendar year. The voluntary contribution by a state or local agency of funding for any of the programs or services required pursuant to this title shall not constitute grounds for terminating the state’s participation in that federal program. It is the intent of the Legislature that if the program terminates, the termination shall be carried out in an orderly manner with notification of parents and certificated personnel. (c) This title shall remain in effect only until the state terminates its participation in Part C of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for individuals from birth to two years of age, inclusive, and notifies the Secretary of the Senate of the termination, and as of that later date is repealed. As the lead agency, the State Department of Developmental Services, upon notification by the Department of Finance or the State Department of Education as to the insufficiency of federal funds and the termination of this program, shall be responsible for the payment of services pursuant to this title when no other agency or department is required to make these payments.
