H. Res. 344 is a congressional inquiry requesting that the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services provide documents within 14 days related to the proposed elimination of the Administration for Community Living. The resolution seeks all unredacted communications, memos, legal opinions, emails, and records regarding the elimination, any staff reductions, changes to the agency's functions, dismissals of leadership staff, and any termination of grants awarded through the agency. The resolution also demands documentation showing whether officials determined that remaining staff could still properly enforce major federal laws under the agency's jurisdiction, including the Older Americans Act, the Assistive Technology Act, the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The resolution was introduced by Representative Bonamici and six other Democratic lawmakers and was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. This inquiry essentially asks the administration to justify its plans to eliminate or drastically downsize an agency that serves seniors, people with disabilities, and those needing assistive technology.
