Federal HB7990 establishes an international disability rights strategy and enhances disability policy within the Department of State.
Federal HB7990, the State Department Disability Policy and Accommodations Act, mandates the Department of State to develop an international disability rights strategy, ensuring alignment with U.S. diplomacy and development efforts. The bill requires the Secretary of State to create a formal policy for advancing disability rights through U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance, and to establish the Judy Heumann Foreign Service Disability Fellowship to expand expertise on disability rights policy.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
