What this bill does
H.R. 10660, the AID Local Government Leadership Act, would establish a grant program to help local governments provide necessary accommodations for elected or appointed officials with disabilities. These accommodations could include physical adaptations, specialized software, communication supports like sign language interpreters, or transportation for official events. The bill aims to assist local governments in meeting their obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and to build their capacity for consistent funding of these accommodations.
The grant program would be administered by the Secretary of Labor, through the Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy. Local governments would be eligible for grants if they have an official with a disability needing accommodations, and if their jurisdiction meets certain criteria, such as being rural, having a population under 10,000, or having a larger population with a significant poverty rate. The grants would range from $3,000 to $50,000 per year and require local matching funds.
