Bill > SCR115

This resolution commemorates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark civil rights law passed in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, by officially designating July 26, 2025, as Americans with Disabilities Act Day in Delaware. The resolution highlights the ADA's significance in promoting accessibility, challenging stereotypes, and ensuring equal rights for people with disabilities, noting that approximately 26 percent of Americans and 24 percent of Delaware residents have a disability. The resolution not only formally recognizes the anniversary of the ADA but also encourages expanded efforts to inform Delaware residents about the importance of equitable treatment for people with disabilities, reaffirming the state's commitment to disability rights and inclusion. By designating this specific day, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the progress made in disability rights and the ongoing work needed to create a more inclusive society.
