Paralyzed Veterans of America led the charge for passage of this legislation, which is widely regarded as the nation’s most comprehensive law affecting people with disabilities ever enacted.
The Americans With Disabilities Act, commonly referred to as the ADA, is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and ensures equal opportunity in employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation. Signed into law on July 26, 1990, it also mandates the establishment of TDD/telephone relay services.
Paralyzed Veterans of America led the charge for passage of this legislation, which is widely regarded as the nation’s most comprehensive law affecting people with disabilities ever enacted. A living, breathing law with countless accomplishments to be celebrated, PVA has fought against efforts to weaken the ADA since its adoption more than 30 years ago.
