How a Bizarre Catch-22 Has Gutted Disability Protection in America - LeoPercipied
On Thursday, November 15, the first of a round of Congressional hearings was held in support of H.R. 3195/S. 1881, a piece of legislation co-proposed by Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Congressman James Sesenbreener (R-WI) that will re-instate the intended power and protections of the ADA. Unlike almost everything else in Washington these days, the amendment appears to have bi-partisan support. In fact, it currently has 232 co-sponsors in the House.
