A resolution recognizing the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities made possible by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and calling to protect the right of individuals with disabilities to live in their own homes and communities.

This Senate resolution recognizes the role of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in supporting independent living and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. It calls on the Department of Justice to rescind its June 18, 2026 interpretation of the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, which concerns the right to receive services in community settings rather than institutions. It opposes recent and future cuts to Medicaid, including work-reporting requirements, and calls on Congress to reverse those cuts and increase funding for home- and community-based services. It also calls on several federal agencies, including the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation, to take steps on employment, housing, transit, communications, and emergency preparedness for people with disabilities. As a resolution, it states the Senate's position and does not change law.
