ADAAA...

In September, President George W. Bush signed into law S.3406, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). This new law, which takes effect on January 1, 2009, keeps the definition of "disability" as an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity but it changes the way that several statutory terms should be interpreted.
