ADA law

Thought you'd might like to know that President Bush today signed into law the ADA Amendment Act of 2008!

Senate Passes ADA Amendment Act of 2008

In June 2008, the House of Representatives passed the ADA Amendment Act of 2008. (See Proposed Amendments to ADA Restore Disability Discrimination Protections, June 28, 2008.) Yesterday, the Senate unanimously passed its own version of the ADA Amendment Act. A conformed version will be submitted to the President for signature within the next several weeks.

The ADA Amendment Act goes a long way in restoring protections that were promised by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, but rescinded by unfavorable Supreme Court decisions that interpreted the protections of the statute narrowly.

Yep. Senate passed it on 9/12/08. It was expected that Bush would sign whatever version passed his desk.
