This resolution commemorates the 27th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C. , which established that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, states must provide qualified individuals with disabilities the choice to receive long-term services and support in community-based settings. This decision reinforced the integration mandate, building upon Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA, to prevent the unnecessary institutionalization and segregation of people with disabilities. Despite these legal requirements, many individuals with disabilities still face segregated living conditions. The resolution strongly condemns a recent Department of Justice opinion that it characterizes as flawed and rejecting the integration mandate, asserting it threatens progress towards full societal integration. It also criticizes cuts to the Medicaid program and other barriers that impede access to home- and community-based services. Therefore, the resolution calls for the Department of Justice to immediately rescind its opinion and urges Congress to reverse Medicaid cuts and increase funding for these vital community-based services.
