The Committee to Study Formula Funding for Educational Programs shall conduct a study of the costs of the program for preschool children with disabilities and, if appropriate, recommend weights to be included in the Education Finance Act, § 59-20-40 and report to the General Assembly no later than November 1, 1993.

Until the weightings for preschool children with disabilities are developed and funded, four-year-old children with hearing or visual disabilities and all five-year-old children with disabilities will continue to be counted for funding purposes under the Education Finance Act. Funding for all other preschool students with disabilities will be provided for in the General Appropriations Act.

The General Assembly shall determine annually in the General Appropriations Act the amount of funding necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
