This bill would require the State Department's Inspector General, when inspecting overseas posts, bureaus, or other operating units, to assess how well each unit meets federal accessibility standards for people with disabilities. These standards include building and facility standards under the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and technology standards under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The bill also adds definitions of the Access Board, Accessibility Standards, and the Architectural Barriers Act to the Foreign Service Act of 1980.
