Congress would recognize daily barriers for people with disabilities and promise to make federal projects easier to use.

This resolution would have Congress say that people with disabilities face daily challenges using federal buildings and services. It would also support current laws that help with access. Congress would promise to make all future federal construction projects easy for everyone to use. This aims to give everyone equal access to government services.

What Would Change

Today, existing laws like the Architectural Barriers Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act aim to ensure accessibility. However, people with disabilities still face daily barriers. If this resolution passes, Congress would formally recognize these barriers. It would also pledge to prioritize universal and inclusive design in all future federal infrastructure projects, aiming to improve equal access to government services for all Americans.
