H.Res. 920 is a symbolic resolution celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which was signed into law on November 29, 1975. The resolution honors IDEA's transformative impact by recognizing that before its passage, over one million children with disabilities were excluded from public schools, but the law established the right of every child with a disability to a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. The resolution acknowledges the millions of students, families, educators, and advocates who have benefited from and supported IDEA's implementation, which provides early intervention services, individualized education programs, and various supports for students with disabilities and their families. As a House resolution, this measure does not create new policy or direct funding; instead, it serves as a formal statement reaffirming Congress's commitment to IDEA and its continued full implementation to ensure all children with disabilities can access quality education and thrive.
