Bill > SR0062

This resolution commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark civil rights law signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. The resolution highlights that approximately 70 million adults in the United States live with a disability, and the ADA has been crucial in breaking down barriers to participation in jobs, schools, transportation, and other aspects of public life. By recognizing the significant contributions of people with disabilities and acknowledging that work remains to be done, the resolution calls for continued efforts to create a society that embraces differences and provides equal opportunities. The Michigan Senate resolves to commemorate the ADA's anniversary, express the highest regard for those who contributed to its enactment, and urge Michigan residents to acknowledge and celebrate this important milestone in civil rights history.
