The Office of Compliance (OOC), an independent legislative branch agency, enforces these laws. 2 U.S.C. §1331(b)(1). The OOC also conducts biennial inspections of the legislative branch to ascertain compliance with the ADA. 2 U.S.C. §1331(f)(1). This Report to Congress, and to the entities responsible for fixing violations, presents the findings of the inspection conducted during the 109th Congress.
