SPECIAL SESSION:

Update: ADA Restoration Act vs ADA Amendments Act
It has been a year since the ADA Restoration Act was
introduced in both the House and the Senate. The
intent of this legislation was to address the
interpretations of the law by the U.S. Supreme Court
that negatively impacted the ability of thousands of
Americans with Disabilities from exercising their
rights under the ADA. Over the past year the House
has passed legislation known as the ADA Amendments
Act of 2008 (HR 3195) and the Senate is in the
process of considering their version of the bill (S
1881). There has been a great deal of discussion
generated via listservs, email and blogs regarding
the compromise language used in the ADA Amendments
Act and concerns raised by advocates, members of
Congress and the business community.
