HR 3295: Summary of House-Senate Agreement

(from 2007 Legislative Agenda)

In order to ensure that individuals with disabilities continue to have improved access to their right to vote, the 110th Congress should:

• Provide increased and continued support to the P&As to carry out their directive under HAVA of ensuring full participation in the electoral process for individuals with disabilities.
  
• Provide legislative oversight regarding the Department of Justice’s enforcement of HAVA’s accessibility provisions and the Election Assistance Commission’s administration of federal elections under the act.
  
• Ensure that any election-related legislation adequately addresses the accessibility needs of all individuals with disabilities and does not create new —or validate existing— barriers to voting for individuals with disabilities.
