HRES 1469: Condemning a legal opinion issued by the U.S. Department of Justice on June 18, 2026, regarding the Olmstead v. L.C., the 1999 Supreme Court decision that recognized institutional isolation of people with disabilities as discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

This resolution condemns a 2026 Department of Justice opinion that challenges the legal requirement to place people with disabilities in community settings rather than institutions. It directly affects individuals with disabilities who rely on federal protections to live independently and avoid segregation in facilities like nursing homes or psychiatric hospitals. The text affirms that the 1999 Supreme Court ruling in Olmstead v. L.C. mandates that states offer community-based services when appropriate and calls on the Justice Department to rescind its opinion. Additionally, it urges Congress to reverse recent cuts to Medicaid funding that support home and community-based services for people with disabilities.

HR 9940: Disability Community Act of 2026

The Disability Community Act of 2026 updates federal Medicaid terminology to replace the outdated phrase "mentally retarded" with "intellectual or developmental disabilities" throughout relevant laws and regulations. This change affects how states and facilities are referred to in official documents, ensuring language aligns with current medical and social standards. Additionally, the bill increases federal funding for specific Medicaid services provided to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities during 2027, 2028, and 2029. These funds are intended to cover costs associated with complying with existing federal regulations regarding care and services.

SRES 814: A resolution recognizing the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities made possible by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and calling to protect the right of individuals with disabilities to live in their own homes and communities.

This Senate resolution recognizes the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities, emphasizing their right to live in their own homes and communities. It calls on the Department of Justice to rescind a recent opinion that the Senate views as undermining the legal requirement to provide community-based services instead of institutional care. The document also urges various federal agencies to improve funding for home and community-based services, increase accessible housing and transportation, and promote competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Additionally, the resolution pledges bipartisan efforts to address barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, including those of color, and opposes cuts to the Medicaid program that could limit access to essential support services.

HR 9846: Childhood Disability Benefits Fairness Act

The Childhood Disability Benefits Fairness Act changes how Medicaid eligibility is determined for children who receive Social Security child's insurance benefits. Under current rules, these children might be denied Medicaid because their Social Security payments count as income, even though the payments are meant to replace lost wages due to a parent's disability. This bill ensures that children in this situation are treated as if they are receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits instead, which allows them to qualify for Medicaid regardless of their Social Security income. The change applies to all new eligibility decisions made after the law is passed, aiming to provide consistent access to healthcare coverage for disabled children with low family incomes.
