Pam,

 

Just to give our members some context, the suit is currently paused, but our organization is still working to have it dropped altogether. You should also know that the name of the suit has changed with the change of administration. It is now captioned as Texas v Kennedy. This happens when a new administration takes over. The suit was and is against the secretary of Health and Human Services. That seat is currently held by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Thus the name change.

 

I should also let you know that we are working on a resolution to be considered by our board calling on our attorney general to drop the suit altogether. Once adopted by our board and shared with Attorney General Paxton, I will share it with this list.

 

Best regards,




Norma Crosby, President

Subject: [AVIT] Update on lawsuit, Texas v. Becerra (Related to Section 504)

Texas, along with 16 other states, has filed a lawsuit challenging 
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, arguing for its 
unconstitutionality, particularly concerning the Biden administration's 
update that included gender dysphoria as a protected disability. The 
lawsuit, Texas v. Becerra, is currently paused, with a joint status 
report due in April.


All the Best, Kenneth Semien Sr.
