ADA Amendments Act PASSES!


On Wednesday, September 17, the U. S. House of Representatives passed the the ADA Amendments Act (S.3406) by voice vote under a unanimous consent procedure. The House passed bill is identical to the bill passed unanimously in the Senate the previous week. The measure now goes to the White House where it is expected to be signed into law soon by President Bush. This bill is intended to restore lost protections within the ADA stemming from decisions by several federal courts which narrowed disability discrimination coverage.
