AI-generated summary, report an errorThis Senate resolution recognizes the 27th anniversary of the 1999 Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C., which held that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, states must offer qualified people with disabilities the choice to receive long-term services in community settings. The resolution condemns a June 18, 2026 Department of Justice opinion on the law's integration mandate and condemns recent and future cuts to Medicaid, including work-reporting requirements. It calls on the Department of Justice to rescind that opinion. It also calls on Congress to reverse the Medicaid cuts and increase funding for home- and community-based services.
