Law

Unlikely to pass

This is a non-binding resolution that expresses an opinion rather than changing the law. While it has several supporters, these types of measures often do not move past the committee stage.

Key Points

This resolution states that Congress should focus on making federal buildings and public spaces easier for people with disabilities to use. It highlights that over 70 million adults in the U.S. live with a disability and often face barriers when trying to access government services or move around their communities.
The proposal asks lawmakers to follow existing laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act more closely. It specifically mentions the need for better sidewalks, street crossings, and transit stops so that everyone can travel safely regardless of their physical abilities.
If passed, Congress would pledge to make inclusive design a main part of all future building and transportation projects. This means new construction would be planned from the start to work for everyone, including veterans with service-related injuries and seniors.
