Action Alert Update: On September 23, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas entered final judgment in Texas v. Kennedy, vacating key community integration provisions in the Department of Health and Human Services’ 2024 regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

The court’s order does not repeal Section 504, overturn the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or overturn the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision. These protections remain in place. The judgment does, however, remove regulatory provisions that require covered programs to provide services in the most integrated setting appropriate, placing disabled people at serious risk of institutionalization.

Disabled people should not be forced into institutions simply because the services and supports necessary to live in our homes and communities are unavailable, inaccessible, or administered in ways that unnecessarily segregate us.

Following the closure of Texas v. Kennedy, Congress can now consider whether additional statutory language is needed to make clear what community living protections Section 504 is intended to provide.

Contact your U.S. Senators and Representative and ask them to support congressional action protecting the right of disabled people to live and receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate.

The government will do away with rules requiring that people with disabilities be served in the community under a settlement with a handful of states that advocates say sidesteps decades of precedent.

For nearly three decades, the Justice Department has been a leading force in enforcing Olmstead v. L.C. and community integration protections for people with disabilities. In a new Able News article, James Weisman, Esq. examines the implications of the The United States Department of Justice’s latest legal position and why Olmstead itself remains enforceable despite the federal policy shift.
