Congress Working to Fix ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was heralded as a major means of preventing discrimination for persons with disabilities. The Courts have watered down its protections. In response, Congress is working on an amendment to the ADA. Contact your legislators to support it! The House Version is HR 3195. This bill will amend the ADA and Section 504 to ensure that the rights of adults and children with disabilities are protected.
