An act relating to creating an Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator position for the General Assembly

This bill creates a permanent, full-time Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator position within the Vermont General Assembly to improve accessibility for staff, members, and the public. The coordinator would oversee reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, plan accessibility improvements to legislative buildings, and provide training on disability-related practices. The legislation appropriates $150,000 for fiscal year 2024 to fund the coordinator's salary and expenses for providing accommodations. This position aims to ensure the State House and other legislative facilities meet accessibility standards and that all visitors can access legislative activities.
