The US Department of Justice proposed changes to the rules for two
\nparts of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): <\/p>\n
1. ADA Title II — state and local governments <\/p>\n
2. ADA Title III — public accommodations <\/p>\n
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has posted two Action
\nAlerts on the NAD Advocacy Blog (http:\/\/blogs.nad.org\/advocacy\/
\n): <\/p>\n
1. NAD Calls for Equal Access to Community Services <\/p>\n
2. NAD Calls for Strong ADA Rules for Businesses <\/p>\n
These Action Alerts provide a summary of the NAD comments to the US
\nDepartment of Justice. They also provide links so you can tell the
\nDepartment of Justice what you think. The NAD is fighting for equal
\naccess and advocating for strong ADA rules for businesses and state
\nand local governments. You can, too. <\/p>\n
