It is the intent of the Legislature that none of the provisions of Sections 37-16-9, 37-23-1 through 37-23-11 and 37-23-133 through 37-23-149 shall create mandates that impose financial or legal requirements upon local school districts which are greater or more restrictive upon local school districts as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 and any subsequent amendments or regulations thereunder, or any other relevant federal legislation. Furthermore, it is not the intent of the Legislature to impose any additional state unfunded mandates for the implementation of this act. Any provisions of this act which are inconsistent, create additional unfunded state mandates, or which are more restrictive upon school districts than federal requirements shall be expressly unenforceable and have no effect.
