About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 24, 2025
Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for improving physical accessibility at federally funded facilities for all Americans, particularly people with disabilities. The resolution acknowledges that approximately one in four U.S. adults have a disability and highlights recent advances in accessibility technology and updated guidelines from the U.S. Access Board issued in August 2023 that address pedestrian access to sidewalks, streets, curb ramps, and transit stops. The measure reaffirms congressional commitment to enforcing existing accessibility laws—specifically the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990—and pledges that universal design principles will guide future infrastructure projects. This is a non-binding resolution that does not create new laws, authorize spending, or establish specific timelines, but rather signals congressional intent to prioritize accessibility improvements across federal facilities and infrastructure.
