. (a) The Superintendent shall repeal those regulations
governing the use of behavioral interventions with individuals with
exceptional needs receiving special education and related services
that are no longer supported by statute, including Section 3052 and
subdivisions (d), (e), (f), (g), and (ab) of Section 3001 of Title 5
of the California Code of Regulations, as those provisions existed on
January 10, 2013.
(b) This chapter is necessary to implement the federal Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.) and
associated federal regulations. This chapter is intended to provide
the clarity, definition, and specificity necessary for local
educational agencies to comply with the federal Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.) and shall be
implemented by local educational agencies without the development by
the Superintendent and adoption by the state board of any additional
regulations.
(c) Pursuant to Section 1401(9) of Title 20 of the United States
Code, special education and related services must meet the standards
of the department.
(d) As a condition of receiving funding from the federal
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et
seq.), a local educational agency shall agree to adhere to this
chapter and implementing federal regulations set forth in this
chapter.
(e) The Superintendent may monitor local educational agency
compliance with this chapter and may take appropriate action,
including fiscal repercussions, if either of the following is found:
(1) The local educational agency failed to comply with this
chapter and failed to comply substantially with corrective action
orders issued by the department resulting from monitoring findings or
complaint investigations.
(2) The local educational agency failed to implement the decision
of a due process hearing officer based on noncompliance with this
part, provisions of the federal Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.), or the federal
implementing regulations, wherein noncompliance resulted in the
denial of, or impeded the delivery of, a free appropriate public
education for an individual with exceptional needs.
(f) Commencing with the 2010-11 fiscal year, if any activities
authorized pursuant to this chapter and implementing regulations are
found be a state reimbursable mandate pursuant to Section 6 of
Article XIII B of the California Constitution, state funding provided
for purposes of special education pursuant to Item 6110-161-0001 of
Section 2.00 of the annual Budget Act shall first be used to directly
offset any mandated costs.
(g) The Legislature hereby requests the Department of Finance on
or before December 31, 2013, to exercise its authority pursuant to
subdivision (d) of Section 17557 of the Government Code to file a
request with the Commission on State Mandates for the purpose of
amending the parameters and guidelines of CSM-4464 to delete any
reimbursable activities that have been repealed by statute or
executive order and to update offsetting revenues that apply to the
mandated program.
