The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1989 is a comprehensive federal statute affirming the rights of persons with disabilities. It is a wide-ranging civil rights statute that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities - similar to the protection given to women, minorities and others since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted. The law bars discrimination in employment and requires most employers to make reasonable accommodations for qualified employees with disabilities starting in 1992. It also bars discrimination in any activity or service operated or funded by state or local government similar to a 1973 requirement for services operated or funded by the federal government.
