This measure recognizes that many federally funded buildings and places are still hard to access and calls out the need to improve physical access for everyone, especially people with disabilities . It highlights the problem and puts attention on making public spaces easier to use—things like entrances, ramps, restrooms, and pathways—so people can get where they need to go safely and with dignity .
It does not set new rules or funding on its own. Instead, it serves as a public statement to push for better access in facilities that receive federal money, which could encourage updates and improvements over time .
