Title: Amendments Relating to the Discipline of Children with Disabilities in H.R. 1 and S. 1, 107th Congress
Authors: Nancy Lee Jones, American Law Division 
Abstract: On May 23, 2001 the House passed amendment number 13 to H.R. 1, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and on June 12, 2001, the Senate passed amendment number 604 to S. 1, the Better Education for Students and Teachers Act. Both of these amendments changed the provisions relating to the discipline of children with disabilities to make the disciplinary procedures applicable to children with disabilities more like those applicable to children without disabilities. The amendments would also eliminate the requirement for educational services to children with disabilities in certain situations.
