4.4. Resolution

By Councilor McLaughlin, Councilor Clingan and Councilor Hardt

(ID # 26-1190 ) Reaffirming this City Council's recognition of July as Disability Pride

• Month in light of the recent Supreme Court rulings and legal memorandum
• on the Olmstead decision from the Department of Justice.

Councilor McLaughlin spoke regarding the recent interpretation by the United States Department of Justice that the previous ruling of the United

States Supreme Court does not apply uniformly to every state. He expressed concern that this interpretation could undermine decades of progress and encouraged the City to consider what actions it could take to address

• potential reductions in federal protections.

• He sponsored Holly Simione, Chair and Commissioner of the Somerville

• Commission for Persons with Disabilities, to address the Council. Ms.

Simione explained that the Olmstead decision is a landmark 1999 ruling of the Supreme Court that established the right of people with disabilities to live in their communities rather than being unnecessarily institutionalized. She stated that the Department of Justice's interpretation of the decision

could result in people with disabilities once again being placed in institutional settings.

Ms. Simione discussed the ongoing efforts to protect and advance disability rights, noting that disability issues intersect with other policy areas, including affordable housing, where accessibility should be a key

consideration. She expressed appreciation that the Somerville Commission for Persons with Disabilities would soon be fully staffed. She also stated that she would welcome greater support from the Council's leadership in

• advancing the Commission's work and in considering its recommendations.

• Ms. Simione further noted that several features within the Council Chamber

• are not accessible to individuals with disabilities and stated that the

Commission hopes to assist the Council in identifying and addressing accessibility barriers.
