Directing legislative branch support offices to take certain actions to promote the procurement of goods and services from the AbilityOne program established under chapter 85 of title 41, United States Code (commonly known as the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act), and for other purposes.
HCONRES 123 directs legislative branch support offices (excluding House and Senate offices) to increase purchasing from the AbilityOne program, which provides employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. The resolution requires each office to appoint an "AbilityOne Representative" to promote program purchases, ensure compliance with regulations, and develop a strategic plan for growth. Offices must submit annual reports starting in 2025 detailing spending on AbilityOne products/services versus non-AbilityOne sources, including explanations for procurement choices. This procedural resolution applies to all legislative branch offices funded by the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act.
