This change can simplify and clarify statutory text (helping people with disabilities and governments) but risks removing substantive protections or authorizations and creating legal uncertainty that could reduce services and spur litigation.
People with disabilities may face clearer, simpler regulatory text if a duplicative or outdated paragraph is removed, making it easier for them to understand their rights and obligations.
State and other government actors will have clearer statutory citations after renumbering, reducing minor legal ambiguity and easing compliance and administrative references.
People with disabilities could lose a specific protection, benefit, or access to services if the deleted paragraph contained substantive rights or service authorizations, resulting in reduced services or legal remedies for those beneficiaries.
Removing the paragraph may create legal uncertainty and prompt litigation as courts and agencies interpret whether obligations changed, imposing costs and ambiguity on state governments and program administrators.
