## Summary

**Protecting the Olmstead integration mandate**. This resolution would condemn a Department of Justice opinion issued June 18, 2026 that rejects the long-standing rule that states must offer community-based long-term services to qualified people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504. - People with disabilities: Calls attention to how institutional placement reduces family ties, social contacts, work options, economic independence, education, and cultural life, and urges preserving options to live in community-based settings. - Medicaid recipients and home- and community-based services: Urges Congress to reverse what the resolution calls the biggest cut to Medicaid in history and to increase funding for home- and community-based long-term services and supports, warning that cuts and burdensome work-reporting requirements put health at risk. - Department of Justice, Congress, and advocates: Demands the DOJ immediately rescind its June 18, 2026 opinion, notes a July 20 notice about revisiting guidance, and calls for bipartisan Congressional action to restore funding and protect integration rights.
