On September 25, 2008, President Bush signed into law the American with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 ("ADAAA"). The legislation overturns a number of U.S. Supreme Court cases that have narrowly interpreted the American with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and sends a message to the courts and the federal agencies charged with enforcing the ADA that the 1990 disability discrimination statute should be interpreted broadly. The ADAAA will be effective January 1, 2009. In anticipation of the new law, employers need to review their ADA compliance practices to meet the new law's more exacting requirements of who is entitled to protection and reasonable accommodation on account of disability.
This complimentary breakfast briefing will address the recent changes to the ADA and how you can prepare your organization for the changes.
