      The Network of Regional DBTAC-ADA Centers is pleased to announce a special session of the ADA Audio Conference Series that will focus on the ADA Amendments Act/ADA Restoration Act. This session will be held on a special date and time.

      DATE: August 12, 2008

      TIME: 12:00-1:30pm Eastern Time (11-12:30pm Central, 10-11:30am Mountain and 9-10:30am Pacific)

      SESSION DESCRIPTION: It has been a year since the ADA Restoration Act was introduced in both the House and the Senate. The intent of this legislation was to address the interpretations of the law by the US Supreme Court that negatively impacted the ability of thousands of Americans with Disabilities from exercising their rights under the ADA. Over the past year the House has passed legislation known as the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (HR 3195) and the Senate is in the process of considering their version of the bill (S 1881). There has been a great deal of discussion via generated on listservs, email and blogs regarding the compromise language used in the ADA Amendments Act and questions raised by advocates, members of Congress and the business community. Join us for this special session of the ADA Audio Conference series to learn more about the legislation, the perspectives of the employment community and how the definition of disability would impact Title I cases of discrimination.
