This Senate resolution affirms the profound impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in fostering independent living, equal opportunity, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities. It highlights the Supreme Court's landmark 1999 Olmstead v. L.C. decision , which mandated that states offer qualified individuals with disabilities the choice to receive long-term services and support in community-based settings rather than institutions. This has enabled millions to live in their own homes and participate fully in society, often through Medicaid-funded home and community-based services. The resolution expresses strong concern over a recent Department of Justice opinion that it deems deeply flawed and harmful, as it rejects the integration mandate and threatens progress made under the ADA and Olmstead. It calls on the Department of Justice to immediately rescind this interpretation and pledges to work on a bipartisan basis to address remaining barriers to full integration. Furthermore, the resolution admonishes against any cuts to the Medicaid program , including burdensome work-reporting requirements, and urges Congress to increase funding for home and community-based services. Finally, the resolution calls on multiple federal agencies to advance ADA goals. This includes urging the Department of Labor to increase competitive integrated employment opportunities, the Department of Health and Human Services to champion independent living, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide accessible housing. It also calls on the Department of Transportation, Federal Communications Commission, and Federal Emergency Management Agency to ensure accessibility in transit, communications, and emergency preparedness, respectively.
