The Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016 lapsed with the dissolution of the last Dáil.
The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill is being used to advance a number of legislative provisions required by the UNCRPD that were previously included in the Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016, including measures to double the percentage of people with disabilities to be employed by public bodies from 3% to 6% by 2024.
Work is actively taking place on the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill, which is expected to be published and enacted in the new year. It is intended that the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 would be amended and fully commenced by June 2022.
