Regulatory Setting
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) generally prohibits the
denial of services or benefits on the basis of physical or mental disability. The
ADA mandates that individuals with disabilities must be given an equal
opportunity to access public facilities and that reasonable accommodations must
be made to account for physical and mental limitations of individuals with
disabilities. Title II of the ADA ensures accessibility to government programs,
services and activities and also requires State government to follow accessibility
requirements standards of Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act, which
