03/04/09   Autism Votes... It's time for lawmakers to listen. 

Dear Autism Advocate,

The ABLE Accounts Act of 2009 – or Achieving a Better Life Experience Act –

has been introduced in Congress. S.493 and H.R. 1205 will encourage individuals

with autism and other disabilities and their families to save, tax-free, for

disability-related expenses. Similar in many respects to existing 529 college

savings plans, these accounts will be exempt from federal taxation, provided

certain rules are met.

Casey (D-PA), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and Dodd (D-CT)

introduced S. 493, with Senators Burr (R-NC), Kennedy (D-MA), and

Sam Brownback (R-KS) signing on as the bill’s original co-sponsors.  Senator

Ander Crenshaw (R-FL) introduced the companion bill in the House, H.R. 1205,

with Congressmen Kennedy (D-RI), Mc Rodgers (R-WA), and

Kendrick Meek (D-FL) joining Crenshaw as original cosponsors.
