PUBLIC COMMENT: Your participation 

during the public comment period 

provides an opportunity for us to hear 

from you—individuals, businesses, 

providers, educators, parents and 

advocates. Your comments are 

important in bringing to the Council’s 

attention issues and priorities of the 

disability community. 

For the July 25 Council meeting, NCD 

will designate its half-hour of public 

comment exclusively for community 

feedback on the recent U.S. Supreme 

Court decision Cummings v. Premier 

Rehab Keller, P.L.L.C. In April 2022, the 

U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in 

Cummings v. Premier Rehab Keller, 

P.L.L.C., holding that emotional distress 

damages are not recoverable in a private 

action to enforce either the 

Rehabilitation Act or the Affordable 

Care Act. NCD seeks public comment on 

the impact of this holding on people 

with disabilities who seek redress for 

discrimination under these Federal 

statutes. In particular, NCD invites 

comments on the following or related 

topics: 

1. What was the importance of 

emotional distress damages under these 

statutes prior to the Cummings 

decision? 

2. What remedy/remedies remain 

available, under these statutes, in a 

private action alleging disability 

discrimination after Cummings, and 

what role can state civil or human rights 

laws play in providing an equivalent 

remedy? 

3. What is the overall impact on civil 

rights protections for people with 

disabilities as a result of this decision? 

Because of the virtual setting, there 

will be a hybrid option for submitting 

public comment. The Council is 

soliciting public comment by email or 

via video or audio over Zoom. Emailed 

public comment submissions will be 

reviewed during the meeting and 

delivered to members of the Council at 

its conclusion. You can also present 

public comment during the session by 

clicking the ‘‘Hand Raise’’ button in 

Zoom and waiting to be called on. If you 

plan to present over Zoom, please 

provide advance notice. To provide 

comments or notice to present public 

comment, please send an email to 

PublicComment@ncd.gov with the 

subject line ‘‘Public Comment’’ and 

your name, organization, state, and 

topic of comment included in the body 

of your email. Submission should be 

received no later than July 24, 5 p.m. 

EDT to ensure inclusion.
