The ABLE Act will both empower and help ease the burden of disabled Americans by letting them and their families create tax-free accounts that can be used to pay for education, housing, transportation, or other disability-related expenses. It’s no wonder that Representative Crenshaw’s (FL-04) bill passed with widespread, bipartisan support, because it gives individuals with disabilities more opportunities by clearing away some of the obstacles they face so that they can achieve a better life.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
