This resolution is a nonbinding statement adopted by the House that condemns a June 18, 2026 legal opinion from the Department of Justice about the Olmstead decision. It urges the DOJ to rescind that opinion, calls on Congress to reverse large Medicaid cuts and increase funding for home- and community-based services, and praises efforts to expand community living. It does not change existing law or legally require DOJ, the Senate, or the President to take any action.
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
As a simple House resolution, it can be adopted by the House alone, does not go to the Senate or the President, and does not become law.
This House resolution condemns a June 18, 2026 Department of Justice legal opinion that interprets the Olmstead v.
L.C. integration mandate under the ADA and section 504.
It calls on DOJ to rescind that opinion, urges Congress to reverse recent Medicaid cuts and bolster home- and community-based services, praises advocates, and reaffirms the Olmstead decision.
This is a House simple resolution (nonlegally binding); such measures do not become law even if adopted by the House.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-documented symbolic House resolution that clearly states its purpose, grounds that purpose in statutory and judicial history, and issues nonbinding calls to action.
