**(a) Findings** The Congress finds that— (1) physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a person’s right to fully participate in all aspects of society, yet many people with physical or mental disabilities have been precluded from doing so because of discrimination; others who have a record of a disability or are regarded as having a disability also have been subjected to discrimination; (2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem; (3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services; (4) unlike individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, or age, individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of disability have often had no legal recourse to redress such discrimination; (5) individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities; (6) census data, national polls, and other studies have documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy an inferio

Page 8247 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 12134 SECTION 1. Policy. This order is issued consistent with the following findings and principles: (a) The United States is committed to community- based alternatives for individuals with disabilities and recognizes that such services advance the best interests of Americans. (b) The United States seeks to ensure that America’s community-based programs effectively foster independ- ence and participation in the community for Ameri- cans with disabilities. (c) Unjustified isolation or segregation of qualified individuals with disabilities through institutionaliza- tion is a form of disability-based discrimination prohib- ited by Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12101 [12131] et seq. States must avoid disability-based discrimination unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity provided by the State. (d) In Olmstead v. L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999) (the ‘‘Olmstead decision’’), the Supreme Court construed Title II of the ADA [42 U.S.C. 12131 et seq.] to require States to place qualified individuals with mental dis- abilities in community settings, rather than in institu- tions, whenever treatment professionals determine that such placement is appropriate, the affected persons do not oppose such placement, and the State can reason- ably accommodate the placement, taking into account the resources available to the State and the needs of others with disabilities. (e) The Federal Government must assist States and localities to implement swiftly the Olmstead decision, so as to help ensure that all Americans have the oppor- tunity to live close to their families and friends, to live more independently, to engage in productive
