The resolution introduced by a group of Pennsylvania legislators designates July 2025 as "Disability Pride Month" in the state. This initiative commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is a significant civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability and mandates reasonable accommodations in various sectors, including education and employment. Despite the progress made since the enactment of the ADA, individuals with disabilities still face challenges such as discrimination and barriers to full participation in community life.

"Disability Pride Month" serves as an annual opportunity to honor the history, achievements, and ongoing struggles of the disability community while promoting awareness and inclusivity. Celebrated since 1990, this month features parades, festivities, and advocacy events across the United States, including major cities in Pennsylvania. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of individuals with disabilities and the need for continued efforts toward equality and inclusion in the Commonwealth.
