A concurrent resolution recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all people of the United States, particularly people with disabilities.
This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 19) is a symbolic statement recognizing that people with disabilities face daily barriers accessing federally funded facilities. It does not create new legal requirements but reaffirms support for the existing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. The resolution pledges to prioritize "universal and inclusive design" in future infrastructure projects and calls for removing access barriers for all people, particularly those with disabilities. It cites statistics on disability prevalence (1 in 4 adults) but focuses on principle, not policy change. As a resolution, it has no binding effect on federal agencies.
