# § 6062. Funding for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
**(a)** **Findings** The Congress finds that—
**(1)** the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.] was established with the commitment of forty percent Federal funding but currently receives only eight percent Federal funding;
**(2)** this funding shortfall is particularly burdensome to school districts and schools in low-income areas which serve higher than average proportions of students with disabilities and have fewer local resources to contribute; and
**(3)** it would cost the Federal Government approximately $10,000,000,000 each year to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
**(b)** **Sense of Congress** 20 U.S.C. 1400
It is the sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should provide States and communities with adequate resources under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [ et seq.] as soon as reasonably possible, through the reallocation of noneducation funds within the current budget monetary constraints.
