Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to improve physical access at buildings and facilities it funds or operates so that people with disabilities can enter and use them more easily. This could involve adding ramps, elevators, accessible bathrooms, and other modifications to make sure everyone, regardless of disability, can access these public spaces. The bill affects federal agencies, contractors who manage government buildings, and millions of Americans with disabilities who currently face barriers when trying to use federally funded facilities.
