NEW: Federal Lawsuit Challenging Army-Wide Waiver of Randolph-Sheppard Act:


The National Federation of the Blind, the National Association of Blind Merchants, and several blind entrepreneurs have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the US Department of Education’s approval of an Army‑wide waiver that eliminates the Randolph‑Sheppard Act priority for blind vendors operating dining facilities on Army installations. Filed in the District of Maryland, the suit argues that the Department of Education exceeded its authority, failed to follow required procedures, and relied on unsupported claims. This action threatens the livelihoods of blind vendors nationwide.
