print email comment close The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA): 1990-2002 URL: http://www.eeoc.gov/ada/ Description: The ADA "is the nation's first comprehensive civil rights law addressing the needs of people with disabilities. ... EEOC was given enforcement authority for Title I of the Act, the employment discrimination provisions." The site features the text of the law, information about the 2001 New Freedom Initiative, and material about EEOC ADA activities. Includes more recent material than the title would suggest, such as the "Primer for Small Business" and information about ADA claims.
