A bill from Sen. Bob Casey (D – Pa.) calls for the establishment of an Office of Disability Policy, which would be tasked with reviewing legislation to determine how it would affect individuals with disabilities. The office, housed within the Government Accountability Office, would also be required to produce an annual report assessing the impact of enacted bills and regulations on the disability community.
