As a\ncondition for the receipt of these funds, IDEA contains requirements on the provision of services and\ndetailed due process procedures. In 1997 Congress amended IDEA in the most comprehensive and\ncontroversial reauthorization since IDEA's original enactment in 1975. One of the most contentious\nissues addressed in the 1997 legislation related to the disciplinary procedures applicable to children\nwith disabilities. This issue was raised again in Amendment 355 to S. 254 , 106th\nCongress, the Violent and Repeat Juvenile Accountability and Rehabilitation Act of 1999, which\npassed the Senate on May 20, 1999.
