Bill Summary

A concurrent resolution recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all people of the United States, particularly people with disabilities.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution recognizes the ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities in accessing federally funded facilities and affirms the government's commitment to improving physical accessibility. The resolution highlights several key points, including the fact that in 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 1 in 4 adults (over 70 million people) have a disability, and that disability is a growing concern due to an aging population and improved medical treatments. It references important legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, and notes recent guidelines issued by the United States Access Board in August 2023 that address accessibility issues in public spaces. The resolution specifically calls for recognizing the barriers people with disabilities face daily, reaffirming support for existing accessibility laws, and pledging to make universal and inclusive design a guiding principle for future infrastructure projects, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all people can equally access federal government services regardless of physical ability.
