What Is ADA?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (and ammended 2009) provides under Title III - Public Accommodations (and Commercial Facilities) that no individual may be discriminated against on the basis of disability with regards to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation. "Public accommodations" include most places of lodging (such as inns and hotels), recreation, transportation, education, and dining, along with stores, care providers, and places of public displays, among other things.

The Specifics
