Law

Unlikely to pass

This is a non-binding resolution that expresses an opinion rather than changing the law. Because it criticizes the current Department of Justice, it will likely face opposition from the opposing party.

Key Points

This resolution celebrates the 27th anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court case. That ruling says states must allow people with disabilities to live in their own homes and communities instead of being forced into nursing homes or hospitals.
The bill speaks out against a June 2026 Department of Justice opinion. The sponsors argue this new opinion ignores decades of law and makes it harder for the 70 million Americans with disabilities to stay active in their communities.
It calls on Congress to stop cutting Medicaid and to increase funding for home-based care. The resolution argues that new rules like work requirements put the health and independence of people with disabilities at risk.
