This resolution condemns a legal opinion issued by the U.S. Department of Justice on June 18, 2026, which it asserts incorrectly interprets the Olmstead v. L.C. Supreme Court decision. The resolution highlights that the 1999 Olmstead ruling recognized the institutional isolation of people with disabilities as discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and mandated that states offer community-based services. The Department of Justice's opinion is criticized for rejecting this integration mandate and threatening progress towards full inclusion for individuals with disabilities. The resolution notes that the DOJ itself admitted its interpretation is "out of step with common understanding" within Federal courts and has declared previous guidance on Olmstead unenforceable. Consequently, the resolution calls on the Department of Justice to immediately rescind its June 18, 2026, opinion concerning the integration mandate of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. It also urges Congress to work in a bipartisan manner to reverse cuts to the Medicaid program and increase funding for home- and community-based services, which are crucial for supporting individuals with disabilities in integrated settings. Finally, the resolution salutes those who have contributed to the expansion of home- and community-based long-term services and supports. It firmly affirms the vital importance of the Olmstead decision in ending the unjustified institutionalization and segregation of individuals with disabilities.
