Increased Tax Credits and Improved Support for Individuals with Disabilities

This act increases tax credits for businesses that adapt their services and workplaces to accommodate individuals with disabilities. It also improves the disability rights mediation program and data collection by the information hotline, aiming to facilitate access to information and dispute resolution.
Key points
Businesses can deduct more costs for accessibility improvements (limit increases from $10,250 to $20,500, with inflation adjustment).
The minimum expenditure threshold ($250) for the credit has been removed, making it easier to claim for smaller investments.
The gross receipts limit for eligible businesses has increased from $1 million to $2.5 million, covering more small and medium-sized enterprises.
The disability rights mediation program will receive funding and be required to report on its effectiveness and case processing times.
The ADA Information Line will collect data on call types to better tailor support for individuals with disabilities.
