Currently in regards to the Texas v. Kennedy case, the rights of people with disabilities to receive care in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs is currently getting a lot of attention. Although the Supreme Court has determined that these rights are found in the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, some are questioning this determination. In response, the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act was reintroduced in both the House and the Senate this summer. ACB is pleased to support that reintroduction with a Speak4 campaign, linked below. The Latonya Reeves Freedom Act would clarify and strengthen the integration mandate and affirm that people with disabilities have a right to receive care in the most integrated setting appropriate. Here is a link to the Speak4 campaign that you can use to tell your representatives to support this bill: https://speak4.app/lp/g301tsla?ts=1787163608
