Spanish General Law on Disability (LGD)
(Royal Legislative Decree 1/2013)
The General Law on Disability is the consolidation in a single legal text that regulates, clarifies and harmonizes 3 norms: the LISMI, the LIONDAU (2003) and the Law of Infractions and Sanctions (2007), which until then were the main legal provisions of general nature in force in Spain designed to address the rights of people with disabilities.
in matters oflabor integration the norm remains intact and only introduces terminological modifications such as eliminating the word “disabled” for “person with a disability” and “insertion/integration” for “inclusion”.
