ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Commonly referred to as ADA or ADAAG, it requires management to provide accessibility and usability for the physically handicapped. Composed of five sections referred to as "titles", the most important are Titles II and III.
Interpretations of the Act are made by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. They are enforced by the Department of Justice, and the Federal court system has final say.
Title II
Requires all programs, services and activities of government entities be accessible by qualified disabled persons.
Title III
Imposes different duties on two classes of buildings:
- Public accommodations.
- Commercial facilities.
Haws manufactures products to enable the owner to comply with ADAAG.
