AI, is this true ? Is this true, The Trump_MAGA Department of Energy is working to rescind a requirement that public buildings have ramps for wheelchair access.

 


Yes, this is true: the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a direct final rule proposing to rescind its long‑standing requirement (in 10 CFR 1040.73) that all newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings funded by DOE must be accessible to people with disabilities—including wheelchair ramps and related features .

🏛️ What’s happening?

  • The rule, officially published on May 16, 2025, would eliminate DOE’s 45‑year‑old mandate under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—currently applied to DOE‑funded projects starting after June 13, 1980 .

  • It’s scheduled to become effective July 15, 2025, unless DOE receives “significant adverse comments” by June 16, 2025—meaning comments challenging the rule’s legality or impact .

🚨 Why people are concerned

  • Civil rights groups including the ACLU strongly oppose the change, characterizing it as a reversal of nearly 50 years of disability protections enshrined in law .

  • Legal advocates say DOE’s “direct final” process is inappropriate here—it’s meant for uncontroversial updates, not the removal of foundational civil‑rights safeguards .

  • Disability advocates warn that without this requirement, future federally funded DOE buildings may lack essential accommodations like ramps, accessible entrances, bathrooms, signage, etc. .

✅ What you can do

  • The comment period closed on June 16, 2025; as of then over 20,000 comments opposed the rule .

  • If significant opposition is found, DOE must formally withdraw or revise the rule before July 15 .


Bottom line

Yes—DOE is actively trying to remove its requirement for wheelchair ramps and general accessibility in DOE‑funded buildings. It’s a serious rollback of disability rights protections under Section 504, currently pending public comment and legal challenge. [ AI ]
