Abstract
On May 9, 2024, the Office for Civil Rights for the Department of Health and Human Services issued its final rule and updates for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (https://bit.ly/4bzADhd). This rule protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on disability and applies to entities that receive federal financial assistance. Traditionally, it has differed from the Department of Education's regulations in that it applies to federally funded health and human services programs, such as hospitals. On page 5 of this issue, Michael R. Masinter discusses the history of the Section 504 regulations.
