This resolution is a formal statement by the House recognizing the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities and calling for further action. It urges specific federal agencies to provide information, technical assistance, and to improve access to employment, housing, transportation, communications, and emergency preparedness. The resolution does not create new law, change legal rights, or authorize spending; it expresses the House's views and requests action. It is non-binding and does not require agencies or states to act.
