What this bill does
H.Res. 1452 is a non-binding resolution marking the significance of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and urging further action on disability rights. It does not create new law or funding; instead, it has the House recognize the ADA's role in enabling independent living, equal opportunity, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, and it encourages Americans to acknowledge that progress. The resolution also lists ongoing problems—such as high poverty and unemployment rates among people with disabilities, barriers to healthcare and accessible technology, and continued institutional segregation—and pledges bipartisan work to address them.
The resolution primarily affects individuals with disabilities by voicing congressional support for expanding their access to employment, housing, transportation, healthcare, and communications technology. It calls on several federal agencies—including the Department of Labor, its Office of Disability Employment Policy, the FCC, HHS, HUD, the Department of Transportation, and FEMA—to provide resources, technical assistance, and policy improvements in their respective areas to benefit people with disabilities.
The bill was introduced on July 23, 2026, by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, with Rep. Debbie Dingell as a cosponsor, and referred to the House Committees on Education and Workforce, Transportation and Infrastructure, Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Financial Services. As a simple resolution, it would not go to the President even if passed; its next step would be committee consideration and a possible House floor vote.
