## Summary

**Locks the Office of Special Education Programs inside the Department of Education and blocks any outsourcing or structural moves that would weaken IDEA enforcement.** This bill would prohibit using funds from appropriations acts to eliminate, consolidate, restructure, or transfer any Department office that administers or enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It would forbid terminating, reassigning, or changing duties of staff in those offices and ban contracting with or delegating administration or enforcement of IDEA to entities outside the Department. It would codify OSEP's placement under IDEA section 1402 so the executive branch cannot unilaterally change that arrangement.
