Suspension of the rules is a procedure that is used to quickly pass a

non-controversial bill in the House. 's law will replace the terms " mental

retardation " and " mentally retarded " with " intellectual disability " and

" individual with an intellectual disability " in specific federal laws. AUCD and

the disability community have been advocating for this important legislation for

nearly a year. AUCD believes that this seemingly small change in terminology

used to describe people with disabilities in federal legislation is a monumental

step toward dismantling archaic and demeaning stereotypes about people with

disabilities. Before the September 22 vote, AUCD signed onto a sign-on letter

from the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Education Task Force urging

the House to pass 's Law. To thank your Representative, visit AUCD's Action

Center.

So, is it a crime punishable by a tort? (civil penalty)

If not, what is the method of prevention in the law. Anyone know?

What happens if an educational system violates this law?

Glad it passed....

Now for enforcing it!

Suspension of the rules is a procedure that is used to quickly pass a

non-controversial bill in the House. 's law will replace the terms " mental

retardation " and " mentally retarded " with " intellectual disability " and

" individual with an intellectual disability " in specific federal laws. AUCD and

the disability community have been advocating for this important legislation for

nearly a year. AUCD believes that this seemingly small change in terminology

used to describe people with disabilities in federal legislation is a monumental

step toward dismantling archaic and demeaning stereotypes about people with

disabilities. Before the September 22 vote, AUCD signed onto a sign-on letter

from the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Education Task Force urging

the House to pass 's Law. To thank your Representative, visit AUCD's Action

Seems to mostly lodge in changing paperwork and the names of agencies and

changing stationary. Won't change anyone's mind in our lifetime.

We may however live long enough to hear " ID " or " intellectually disabled " tossed

around as the new nasty word/phrase.

And then another law changing more paper work. Seems to me we need to

change peoples' perceptions about the equality of differences.

Yep. And now I will continue to fumble for the newest pc word(s) to use & in

the process probably freak out some brand new teacher/other when I give up & use

the wrong word.....

Sheesh, imagine all the varied FORMS-both state & federal that will need to be

changed. Not to mention whole dictionaries & research papers & medical/other

encyclopedias....

$ & time better spent on universal quality of life issues-from birth to

death-beit housing or education or employment or recreation or caregivers....

As it is, at least in my area, schools etc already use ID language & have for

years.
