Under the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA), as amended, during each Congress, the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) of the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (OCWR) is required to inspect the facilities of the covered entities in the legislative branch for compliance with the public services and accommodations provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The CAA requires the OGC to prepare and submit a report based on these inspections.
The report presented here is designed to give the public a preliminary look at the overall results from the inspections for the 117th Congress while a more detailed report is being developed.
