Recognizing and honoring the 27th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C.

This resolution of the House of Representatives marks 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 services in community-based settings. The resolution honors people who worked to expand home- and community-based services for people with disabilities. It states the House's view that the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act require federally funded services to be provided in the most integrated setting appropriate to a person's needs. It also calls on federal, state, and local governments to adopt policies that help people with disabilities live and work in community settings. The resolution does not create new law or funding.
