Our bill, which I'm really proud to have introduced with French Hill of North Carolina, would modernize it to guarantee that the full range of reasonable accommodations that smaller businesses have to make to make their spaces more accessible for people with disabilities are truly affordable for those businesses and therefore genuinely available for people with disabilities across our country.
I will work to modernize the Disabled Access Credit so small businesses can afford the full range of reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
Occurrences
The Disabled Access Credit Modernization Act would address this oversight by adding "reasonable accommodations" as a qualifying expenditure under the DAC. By expanding eligible expenses, the legislation would help small businesses provide the accommodations employees need while expanding access to employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

The legislative tracker lists 119hr9809 as H.R. 9809, 119th Congress, sponsored by Sarah McBride, with status 'In committee' and latest action 'Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means' on July 21, 2026.
Assessments
McBride took concrete same-term action directly tied to the promise by introducing the Disabled Access Credit Modernization Act with Rep. French Hill. The bill would add reasonable accommodations as eligible expenses under the Disabled Access Credit, matching the substance of the commitment. However, the available bill-status evidence shows the measure was only referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and had not passed or become law, so the modernization outcome itself was not fully delivered.
