Americans with Disability Act - Title II Equal Access Information

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is federal civil rights legislation signed into law on July 26, 1990 which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. The application of the ADA to County Government is covered in Title II which requires that:

“No qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of the disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to any discrimination by a public entity.” [Title II, Section 35.130 (a)]

An ADA Coordinator position has been established to act on behalf of the County and related Entities:
