Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, Transportation and Infrastructure, Energy and Commerce, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Introduced July 23, 2025 by Jahana Hayes · Last progress July 23, 2025
Declares Congress’s support for accessible, universal design in federal infrastructure and services, reaffirms the Architectural Barriers Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and urges full compliance with accessibility standards. It notes that the U.S. Access Board issued pedestrian accessibility guidelines, the Department of Transportation adopted those guidelines (making new or altered transit stops subject to them as of Jan 2025), and that Department of Justice adoption would make the guidelines enforceable under Title II of the ADA.
Affirms that people with disabilities face daily access barriers and that future federal infrastructure bills and projects should be guided by universal and inclusive design principles; directs Congress to work to identify and remove barriers to equal access to federal services. The resolution is declaratory — it expresses policy intent and encouragement rather than creating new funding or specific regulatory requirements by itself.
