AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, AS AMENDED
Editor’s Note:
Following is the current text of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), including changes made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-325), which became effective on January 1, 2009. The ADA was originally enacted in public law format and later rearranged and published in the United States Code. The United States Code is divided into titles and chapters that classify laws according to their subject matter. Titles I, II, III, and V of the original law are codified in Title 42, chapter 126, of the United States Code beginning at section 12101. Title IV of the original law is codified in Title 47, chapter 5, of the United States Code. Since this codification resulted in changes in the numbering system, the Table of Contents provides the section numbers of the ADA as originally enacted in brackets after the codified section numbers and headings.
For the reader’s convenience, changes created by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 are shown by strike-out and bold.http://www.ada.gov/pubs/adastatute08mark.htm-----------------------------------
