Bill > HCRes45

This resolution recognizes the ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities in accessing federally funded facilities and affirms the United States' commitment to improving physical accessibility. Drawing on several key statistics, including a 2024 CDC finding that 1 in 4 adults have a disability, the resolution highlights the importance of equal access as a fundamental principle of American democracy. The document reaffirms support for critical disability rights legislation like the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and acknowledges recent technological advances and regulatory updates, such as the United States Access Board's 2023 guidelines for pedestrian facilities. Specifically, the resolution calls for Congress to recognize the daily barriers experienced by people with disabilities, encourage full compliance with existing accessibility laws, and commit to universal and inclusive design principles in future infrastructure projects, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all people can equally access government services regardless of physical ability.
