STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three

Whereas the state of New Hampshire faces ever tightening budgets; and

Whereas New Hampshire school districts are finding it increasingly difficult to raise and appropriate sufficient dollars on the local level to provide students with a quality education; and

Whereas newly enacted federal mandates have placed an undue and heavy burden on local school district budgets; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the state of New Hampshire vigorously opposes all unfunded and under-funded federal education mandates, including those contained in the recently enacted No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and those mandates historically unfunded within the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act; and

That copies of this resolution shall be forwarded by the house clerk to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Majority Leader of the United States Senate, and the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
