      "title": "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Discipline Legislation in the 106th Congress",
      "summary": "Although Congress described its 1997 changes to discipline provisions in the Individuals with\nDisabilities Education Act (IDEA) as a \"careful balance,\" it was not long before amendments to\nchange the provisions surfaced. In 1999 the Senate passed  S. 254 , 106th Cong., the\nViolent and Repeat Juvenile Accountability and Rehabilitation Act of 1999, and the House passed\n H.R. 1501 , 106th Cong., the Child Safety and Protection Act, both of which contained\namendments to IDEA. These amendments would have changed section 615 of IDEA to eliminate\nIDEA's different disciplinary procedures for children with disabilities in certain situations. In the\nSenate the amendment applied to children with disabilities who carry a gun or firearm while in the\nHouse the amendment would cover a weapon. These amendments were not enacted.\n Two amendments relating to children with disabilities were offered and accepted during House\nEducation and Workforce Committee markup of  H.R. 4141 , 106th Cong., the\nElementary and Secondary Education Act Amendments. One amendment, offered by Representative\nNorwood, concerned the discipline of a child with a disability who carries or possesses a weapon. \nThe other amendment, offered by Representatives Talent, McIntosh and Tancredo, concerned the\ndiscipline of a child with a disability who knowingly possesses or uses illegal drugs at school or\ncommits an aggravated assault or battery at school. These amendments were not enacted. \n This report will be updated as appropriate. For a more detailed discussion of the due process\nprovisions in IDEA see  CRS Report 98-42 ,  Individuals with Disabilities Education Act:\nDiscipline\nProvisions in  P.L. 105-17  , by Nancy Lee Jones.",
