Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, abbreviated as the ADA, is a U.S. federal civil rights law that prohibits the discrimination of disabled people. It guarantees the rights of disabled people to services; purchases of goods; employment opportunities; and federal, state, and local government services. It is enforced through civil litigation.

Title III of the ADA requires that privately operated businesses, transit and nonprofits must offer disabled people an equal opportunity to access the goods or services they offer. Religious entities are exempt from Title III.

Since the last congressional updates to the US Code Title 42, Chapter 126, Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities.
