Bill > HCR181

This concurrent resolution congratulates the winners of the 2025 Spirit of the ADA Award, recognizing businesses that embody the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) through their employment practices. The ADA is a landmark civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. The resolution highlights Vermont's commitment to equal opportunity and the benefits of including individuals of all abilities in the workforce. The Governor's Committee on the Employment of People with Disabilities selects award recipients based on criteria such as accessible hiring processes, on-the-job accommodations, accessible physical spaces, and a comprehensive employment strategy that includes hiring people with disabilities. The resolution specifically names the numerous businesses that have earned this award for 2025 and directs the Secretary of State to send them a copy of this congratulatory message.
