Accessible Ukraine Act

This bill would require construction and renovation contracts in Ukraine that use United States funding to follow existing federal accessibility standards for people with disabilities. The Secretary of State could waive this requirement if it is in the U.S. national interest, and normal maintenance and temporary emergency construction would have limited exceptions. The bill would bar federal funds from projects that help segregate or institutionalize people with disabilities. It would also create an accessibility working group to review emergency exceptions and check compliance, and require an annual report to Congress.
