ADA Amendment Print E-mail
Tuesday, 24 June 2008

 Update!!!

By an extraordinary margin of 402-17, the House of Representatives passed the ADA Amendments Act yesterday to reverse Supreme Court holdings that had deprived many people with disabilities of the law's vital protections. The bill would restore the intent of Congress when it enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 (see yesterday's news alert).

Please note that both our Senators have signed on as co-sponsors to the ADA Amendments Act.  We encourage you to take time to send them a thank-you note – email is the fastest and preferred way to send communications, so it just takes a couple of minutes. Here is a link to send an email to Senator Snowe:http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorSnowe.Email  Here is a link to send an email to Senator Collins:http://collins.senate.gov/public/continue.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorCollins.Email
