Summary
The Department of Justice has removed 11 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for businesses, including guidance on COVID-19 masking and accessibility requirements.
Pages detailing retail accessibility features and lodging accommodations were deleted from ADA.gov. The DOJ called the guidelines “unnecessary and outdated,” citing a January executive order from Trump that blamed regulations for inflation.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Mac Warner claimed the removals would help businesses “pass on cost savings to consumers.” This follows previous Republican efforts to limit ADA enforcement.
They don’t care that it might disproportionately affect their base anymore, because they now think they don’t need their base of pesky voters.
Yeah, remember Trump telling those Christians “we’ll fix it so you don’t have to vote anymore”. They don’t need their voters when every position down to your city council is directly appointed by your local Lord (Governor).
