Conflict with federal requirements -- Severability -- 1994 c 180: See notes following RCW 74.09.5243.      Conflict with federal requirements -- Severability -- Effective dates -- 1993 c 149: See notes following RCW 74.09.5241.      Intent -- 1989 c 400: "The legislature finds that there is increasing demand for school districts' special education programs to include medical services necessary for handicapped children's participation and educational progress. In some cases, these services could qualify for federal funding under Title XIX of the social security act. The legislature intends to establish a process for school districts to obtain reimbursement for eligible services from medical assistance funds. In this way, state dollars for handicapped education can be leveraged to generate federal matching funds, thereby increasing the overall level of resources available for school districts' special education programs." [1989 c 400 § 1.]      Severability -- Effective date -- 1971 ex.s. c 66: See notes following RCW 28A.155.010.
