Latest Action · July 15, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, Transportation and Infrastructure, Energy and Commerce, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's recognition of the need to improve physical accessibility at federally funded facilities for all Americans, especially people with disabilities. The resolution reaffirms support for two existing disability access laws: the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It notes that over 70 million Americans have disabilities and cites recent accessibility guidelines issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board in August 2023, which the Department of Transportation adopted in December 2024 for sidewalks, streets, crosswalks, and transit stops. The resolution pledges that Congress will make universal and inclusive design a guiding principle for all future infrastructure legislation and projects while continuing to identify and remove barriers to equal access to federal services. This is a non-binding resolution with no funding or enforcement mechanisms; it serves to declare Congress's commitment to accessibility improvements rather than mandate specific actions.
