I support HB 1593 as our NH legislation to support the principles of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 504 has given individuals who experience disabilities important opportunities to become productive, contributing citizens of New Hampshire. As a Special Educator and college level Coordinator of Disabilities Services, I have seen firsthand over decades how this legislation has allowed hundreds of individuals to benefit from reasonable accommodation plans and equal access. Furthermore, these individuals have then given back as members of our workforce and our communities. I sincerely believe that preserving and continuing these processes and protections are vital to our state.
