  Expressing support for the designation of July 2024 as ``Disability

Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an 
        estimated 61,000,000 adults in the United States have a disability;
Whereas the United States Census Bureau reports that more than 3,000,000 
        children in the United States have a disability;
Whereas the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) 
        was signed into law on July 26, 1990;
Whereas individuals with disabilities remain at an increased risk of 
        experiencing discrimination and social isolation;
Whereas individuals with disabilities are vital and make meaningful 
        contributions to the workforce, arts, science, health care, technology, 
        sports, education, law, and many more sectors; and
Whereas ``Disability Pride Month'' is celebrated in July by people across the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) expresses support for the designation of July 2024 as 
        ``Disability Pride Month''; and
            (2) calls on the people of the United States, interest 
        groups, and affected people to observe ``Disability Pride 
        Month'' with appropriate celebrations and activities.
