Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
H.Res. 875 is a symbolic resolution that honors The Arc of the United States on its 75th anniversary. The Arc is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by parents and friends of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and it now operates through nearly 600 state and local chapters. The resolution recognizes The Arc's decades of advocacy work, including helping to establish landmark legislation such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and programs providing income support and community-based services for people with disabilities. The bill highlights the organization's role in advancing civil rights protections, exposing institutional abuses, and promoting the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their communities. This resolution does not create new programs, allocate funding, or establish timelines; instead, it formally acknowledges The Arc's historical contributions and ongoing partnership with government and advocacy efforts to support people with disabilities.
