ADA Government Regulations |
| |
| Section
508 requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information
technology is accessible to people with disabilities. The Center for
Information Technology Accommodation (CITA), in the U.S. General Services
Administration's Office of Government-wide Policy, has been charged with
the task of educating Federal employees and building the infrastructure
necessary to support Section 508 implementation. Using this web site,
Federal employees and the public can access resources for understanding
and implementing the requirements of Section 508. (29 U.S.C. 794d) |

The
Americans with Disabilities Act
The
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the most comprehensive federal
civil-rights statute protecting the rights of people with disabilities. It
affects access to employment; state and local government programs and
services; access to places of public accommodation such as businesses,
transportation, and non-profit service providers; and telecommunications.

Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-336) (ADA),
as amended, as these titles appear in volume 42 of the United States Code,
beginning at section 12101. Title I of the
ADA, which became effective for employers with 25 or
more employees on July 26, 1992, prohibits employment discrimination
against qualified individuals with disabilities. Title I will apply to
employers with 15 or more employees beginning on July 26, 1994. Title V
contains miscellaneous provisions which apply to
EEOC's enforcement of
Title I. The Civil Rights Act of 1991 (Pub. L. 102-166) (CRA)
amends sections 101(4), 102 and 509 of the
ADA. In addition,
section 102 of the CRA
(which is printed elsewhere in this publication) amends the Revised
Statutes by adding a new section following section 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1981)
to provide for the recovery of compensatory and punitive damages in cases
of intentional violations of Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, and section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
