      "title": "The Randolph-Sheppard Act: Major Judicial Decisions",
      "summary": "The Randolph-Sheppard Act requires that blind individuals receive priority for the operation of vending facilities on federal property. \u201cVending facilities\u201d include automatic vending machines, cafeterias, and snack bars. This report will discuss several significant court decisions and recent legislation related to the Randolph-Sheppard Act. Two federal court of appeals decisions, NISH v. Cohen and NISH v. Rumsfeld, held that military troop dining facilities are \u201ccafeterias\u201d under the Randolph-Sheppard Act and that the act controlled over the Javits-Wagner-O\u2019Day Act, which provides employment opportunities for the severely disabled. Other cases have analyzed the scope of the Randolph-Sheppard Act\u2019s application to military troop dining facilities. S. 3112, which was introduced on June 11, 2008, would amend the Javits-Wagner-O\u2019Day and Randolph-Sheppard Acts and address several issues raised by these judicial decisions.",
