(Not considered Legal Advice)
Colleagues, I attended Bullard's Annual Law briefing last week. One of the items discussed at length was the new ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) signed into law a month ago. Bullard sent the following message that has their pdf identifying the significant changes.
BullardeAlert: ADA Amendments Act redefines disability
On January 1, 2009 the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act ("ADA Amendments Act") goes into effect. The ADAAA, signed into law on September 25, 2008 by President Bush, is the first major overhaul to the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 USC §12101 et seq., since its passage in 1990. The ADAAA expands the definition of "disability" and legislatively overturns two United States Supreme Court decisions that had become flashpoints for controversy.
Click the following link to read the BullardeAlert describing the practical import of these changes: http://www.bullardlaw.com/assets/documents/ealert102308.pdf From my notes at the briefing this is what I gleaned: 1. The definition of "Substantially limits" a major life function is to become more lenient. Bullard suggests that this becomes "compared to most people."
2. When determining whether an individual is is disabled, look at that person in an "unmedicated state." Thus, the individual who has a mental illness under control while medicated is to be treated as disabled even though he/she never appears to be disabled.
3. When determining whether an individual is disabled, look at that person when the individual is not using prosthetic devices or other measures to manage their impairments (the exception is the use of "ordinary" eyeglasses or contacts).
Thus the effect of both 2. and 3. is to treat the individual as he/she is, not as he/she has been corrected.
4. The list of major life activities and bodily functions has been expanded, including things like sleeping, eating, bending, normal cell growth, circulatory issues, etc.
5. ADAAA includes items that are in remission (like cancer) or episodic (like shingles).
6.ADAAA excludes the old rule of "a person who is regarded as disabled." (the courts have struggled with this one)
7.ADAAA excludes transitory conditions ("an impairment with an actual or expected duration of six months or less") and minor conditions.
The intent of the Amendment was to restore the ADA to what it had been originally designed to do, not how the courts had changed it.
I suspect most of you are aware of this, but I wanted to be certain of that.
The PSU online Undergraduate Scholarship application is due by 11:59 pm, Monday, February 2, 2009 Eastern Standard Time (EST). _____________________________________
