The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas of public life, including employment, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. However, an executive order alone did not create the ADA.
The ADA was actually created by Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990. The executive order played a role in the implementation of the ADA by directing federal agencies to ensure compliance with the law's requirements and remove any barriers that may exist for individuals with disabilities.
Executive Order 13164, signed by President Bill Clinton in 2000, further strengthened the ADA's implementation by requiring federal agencies to establish procedures to handle complaints of disability discrimination from federal employees. It also mandated that federal agencies provide reasonable accommodations for disabled employees, similar to those required by private entities under the ADA.
Overall, while executive orders played a role in the implementation and enforcement of the ADA, the law itself was created through the legislative process by Congress and signed into law by the President.
