AB The  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  of  1990  (ADA;  Pub  L.  No.  101-336)  is  a  federal  anti-discrimination  statute  designed  to  prohibit  discrimination  on  the  basis  of  disability.  The  ADA  gives  civil  rights  protections  to  individuals  with  disabilities  similar  to  those  protections  provided  to  individuals  on  the  basis  of  race,  color,  sex,  national  origin,  age,  and  religion.  It  guarantees  equal  opportunity  for  individuals  with  disabilities  in  employment  (Title  I),  state  and  local  government  services  (Title  II),  public  accommodations  (Title  III),  telecommunications  (Title  IV),  and  transportation  (Title  V).  The  ADA  was  later  amended  (effective  January  1,  2009)  by  the  ADA  Amendments  Act  of  2008.  Revised  ADA  regulations  implementing  Titles  II  and  III  are  earmarked  to  take  effect  on  March  15,  2011,  including  revisions  to  the  ADA  Standards  for  Accessibility  Designs.  They  can  be  accessed  via  the  ADA  Home  Page  listed  below.
