SUMMARY : Recognizes July 26, 2010, as the 20th anniversary of
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); California's In-Home
Supportive Services program is the cornerstone of California's
compliance with that act; progress has been made to comply with
the act, reaffirming the principles of equality and inclusion
set forth in that act; and in recognition of the 20th
anniversary of the ADA, recommits the Legislatures efforts to
reach full compliance with that act. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)On July 26, 1990, President George H. Bush signed into law the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which established a
clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination
of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
2)The "integration mandate" of the ADA, which requires public
agencies to provide services in the most integrated setting
appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with
disabilities, was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in
the Olmstead decision; and, California's nationally recognized
In-Home Supportive Services program is the foundation of
California's efforts to comply with the Olmstead decision.
3)The ADA is the most comprehensive civil rights bill in history
for persons with disabilities; and, the 20th anniversary of
the ADA is a milestone worthy of acknowledgment and
celebration.
