In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the disability community, the New Jersey Disability Action Committee was formed to outline the obstacles impacting the disability community. Working with the committee, Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri-Huttle, D-Bergen, crafted a legislative package that she says addresses the needs of disabled residents amid COVID-19. The legislation aims to ensure that the rights of those with disabilities are protected during a public health emergency. The package seeks to improve support services including securing insurance coverage for telemedicine services. Among the nine bulls, one would establish a Commission on People with Disabilities, which would bring disabled people to the table to discuss their needs.
