Referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
S.Res. 338 is a Senate resolution recognizing the 35-year legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act and calling for expanded efforts to help people with disabilities live independently and work in their communities. The resolution highlights that many individuals with disabilities still live in segregated institutions due to Medicaid funding biases and insufficient community support services, and notes that people with disabilities—especially people of color—face disproportionate barriers to healthcare, employment, and housing. The resolution pledges bipartisan action to strengthen Medicaid coverage for home and community-based services, opposes future cuts to Medicaid that would harm people with disabilities, and directs multiple federal agencies including the Labor Department, HHS, HUD, and others to improve employment opportunities, accessible housing, communications services, and emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities. No specific funding amounts or timelines are included, as this is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's intent rather than authorizing appropriations.
