S 3749 United States Senate · 118th Congress

AID Local Government Leadership Act

This bill creates a federal grant program to help local governments provide reasonable accommodations for elected or appointed officials with disabilities. It directly affects qualifying local governments (with populations under 200,000, in rural areas, or with high poverty rates) that have an official needing accommodations like office modifications, specialized software, or sign language interpreters to perform their work duties. Grants range from $3,000 to $50,000 annually, requiring local governments to contribute 25% in matching funds, which must be maintained for four years after the grant ends. The program aims to increase disability representation in local government by addressing ADA compliance gaps in funding for necessary accommodations.
