Provides the current text of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 [“ADA”], as amended. It was originally enacted in public law format and later rearranged and published by subject matter in the United States Code. The United States Code is divided into “titles” numbered 1 through 50. Titles I, II, III and V of the ADA have been codified in Title 42 of the United States Code, beginning at section 12101. Title IV of the original public law format has been codified in Title 47 – Telegraphs, Telephones, and Radiotelegraphs of the United States Code. This codification has resulted in the section numbers being changed. Therefore, the section numbers of the ADA as originally enacted appear in brackets after the codified section number and heading in the Table of Contents.

This report examines the legal arguments that make the World Wide Web less than world wide for people with disabilities and demonstrates how those arguments do not withstand reasoned legal analysis. It is hoped that this report will benefit all concerned by promoting the integration of people with disabilities – and abilities – into mainstream society.
