Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, the Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Financial Services, 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.
H. Resolution 1452 is a symbolic resolution that acknowledges the importance of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and recognizes ongoing barriers that people with disabilities continue to face in employment, housing, healthcare, and community participation. The resolution documents persistent problems affecting people with disabilities, including that nearly a quarter live below the poverty line, many face unemployment and workplace discrimination, and numerous public and private facilities remain inaccessible. The resolution directs multiple federal agencies including the Department of Labor, Federal Communications Commission, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, and Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop policies and provide technical assistance to improve employment opportunities, accessibility, housing options, and emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities. This resolution does not authorize funding or create new laws; instead, it expresses Congress's intent and calls on federal agencies and the American people to work toward greater inclusion and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities.
