Texas v. Becerra: What You Need to Know

Texas v. Becerra is a lawsuit in which 17 states are challenging the federal government’s protections for people with disabilities in health care and human services. The states are asking the court to eliminate Section 504 and its updated regulations, which ensure that organizations receiving federal funding cannot discriminate against individuals with disabilities.
 

Section 504 is a key civil rights law that protects access to medical care, social services, and other essential programs. The outcome of this case could have a major impact on disability rights across the country.
