Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) on the ADA Amendments Act

"While 18 years have passed since President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law, its potential has yet to be realized," said Sensenbrenner. "This is because of a number of Supreme Court decisions that have restricted ADA coverage for people suffering from ailments such as diabetes, epilepsy, and cancer, to name a few. Yesterday, the House of Representatives took the first step to finally secure the promise of the original bill - that the guarantees and promises on which this country was established, continue to be recognized on behalf of all its citizens."
