(11,767 posts)The ADA is not a perfect set of legislation and there have been people who have abused some of the recourse in the laws but this certainly looks like a bill that seeks to undermine the core of the law. There are people who say that the regulations are onerous and expensive, especially to smaller businesses, but as many on here have said, the laws have been in place for close to 30 years and are usually a mandatory part of every business plan when people are going to be dealing with the public, or hiring employees. I am not against reviewing and weighing the cost v benefit of regulations, but I have to say that "reform" bills introduced by Republicans are almost certainly designed to disadvantage vulnerable people for the benefit of moneyed interests.
