Statement of National Disability Organizations on the Department of Justice’s Proposed Resolution of Texas v. Kennedy
DREDF
National disability organizations strongly condemn the Department of Justice’s proposed resolution in Texas v. Kennedy, which seeks to remove community integration provisions from Section 504 regulations, arguing that it undermines the rights of people with disabilities to live independently in their communities. The resolution relies on a recent DOJ memo that reverses decades of legal interpretation, and the disability community opposes efforts to roll back disability rights and segregation. The organizations emphasize that only Congress can change the law, and the proposed resolution does not alter existing legal precedents under the ADA or Section 504.
