New Regulations and Revised Eligibility Standards
On September 15, 2010 the U.S. Department of
Justice issued revised regulations for Titles II and Title III of
the American's with Disabilities Act ("ADA").
The new regulations, including revised eligibility
standards, became effective on March 15, 2011. The new regulations
can be found at 28 C.F.R. Parts 35 and 36. The purpose of the revisions
was to implement regulations that comport with the legal and practical
experience of the Department in enforcing the ADA since 1991. It
should be noted that these regulations have no effect on any State
or local laws that provide protections greater than or equal to
that provided by the ADA. Compliance with less stringent state or
local laws will not constitute compliance with the ADA.
