Many airports will soon be required to provide changing tables for adults with disabilities. Now, federal officials are seeking input on how to implement the new mandate. The U.S. Access Board is now seeking public comment. https://t.co/bCPCYMbfr8

Thank you @BrianSFernandez for stopping by our Disability Policy and Advocacy Alliance lunch at the #Arizona Capitol! Constituents drove up from #Somerton to speak with you and it was a good discussion around #disability and #education issues.

@OutspokenKTAR @TheBruceStJames @GaydosKTAR We'd love to come on the show to share what harmful real impact this bill will have on older adults and ppl w/ disabilities in AZ, especially rural areas!

[The Arc of Tucson @arcoftucson]

URGENT-The Senate has passed the bill & now it returns to the House. Please take action now to protect Medicaid which is a lifeline for people w/ disabilities & many others. Take a few minutes to tell your House Representatives-NO Medicaid & SNAP Cuts.

More Dept. of @Energy potential changes: cutting 12 #civilrights rules that were originally enacted to ensure access for ppl w/ #disabilities & those who speak other languages. Submit public comment here by Mon., June 16 ➡️ https://t.co/nx1miFExPn

[AZ Developmental Disabilities Planning Council @AzDDPC]

➡️ Only 4 more days to comment on potential rollback of #504 protections for ppl w/ disabilities to @ENERGY buildings - if approved, other federal agencies could cut protections for #disabled people, limiting access and enforcement options: https://t.co/SDXsBlqG9m

AAPPD would like to extend a huge thank you to @GovernorHobbs for including provider rate increases for services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in her executive budget request published today. 1/4

Thank you @GovernorHobbs for including 2.5 M of additional funding for Home and Community Based Services, additional $’s for ALTCS surveyors and $’s for providers. This is very important to @AARPArizona members. #2025AZBudget
