Debbie Dingell of Michigan and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. H.Res.1586 maintains that the Congressional intent of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act was affirmed in the Supreme Court decision of <i>Olmstead v. L.C</i>. This resolution clearly states that the integration mandate is the law, and that unnecessarily segregating people with disabilities into institutions is a form of discrimination. This resolution also details the history of the integration mandate and its firm placement in the law today. It calls on all levels of government to champion policies that promote community integration for people with disabilities.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ACB applauds this resolution in the House and calls on the Senate to put forward a similar resolution.
