29-5A-25
Section 29-5A-25 References to individuals with disabilities. (a) The Legislature recognizes
that language used in reference to individuals with disabilities shapes and reflects society's
attitudes towards people with disabilities. Many of the terms currently used diminish the
humanity and natural condition of having a disability. Certain terms are demeaning and create
an invisible barrier to inclusion as equal community members. The Legislature finds it necessary
to clarify preferred language for new and revised laws by requiring the use of terminology
that puts the person before the disability. (b) The Legal Division is directed to avoid all
references to: Disabled, developmentally disabled, mentally disabled, mentally ill, mentally
retarded, handicapped, cripple, crippled, deaf-mute, deaf-dumb, dumb, and mute in any new
statute or resolution and to change such references when appropriate in any existing statute
or resolution as sections and provisions including these references are...
