  1. The bill would create a State Fund for Universal Accessibility, attached to the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and managed together with the autonomous communities. Its goal is to fund projects that guarantee people with functional diversity can fully exercise their rights.
  2. The Fund would be filled with money from the State General Budgets and with 1% of the budget of each public works, service or supply contract, and also of works or services run under a concession.
  3. A Governing Council (Consejo Rector) would run the Fund, with representation from the different levels of public administration and from social organizations of functional diversity.

The law would take effect the day after publication, except for measures with budget impact, which would wait until the following fiscal year.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
