Legislation and policies affecting persons with disabilities are closely watched by numerous disability organizations. The PA Council on Independent Living routinely prepares legislative and policy analyses as well as position papers both individually and as a contributory signer on issues relating to all persons with disabilities regardless of their disability. Watch this page for updates to keep abreast of issues affecting you and your community. Feel free to contact your legislators individually on the issues represented on these pages.
