This resolution recognizes the enduring importance of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) in promoting independent living , equal opportunity, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities. Despite the ADA's advancements, it highlights that significant barriers persist, including high poverty rates, unemployment, inaccessible services, and the continued use of segregated institutional settings. The resolution notes that individuals with disabilities, particularly those of color, face disproportionate challenges in areas like healthcare, education, and employment, underscoring that the ADA represents a floor, not a ceiling, for necessary action. To address these ongoing issues, the resolution pledges bipartisan efforts to dismantle remaining barriers and calls upon several federal departments and agencies to take specific actions. The Department of Labor is urged to develop policies for economic self-sufficiency and increase employment opportunities. Other agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, and Federal Emergency Management Agency, are called upon to provide resources and technical assistance to ensure accessible communication, home- and community-based services, housing, transportation, and inclusive emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities.
