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 The DOJ called the guidelines “unnecessary and outdated,” citing a January executive order from Trump that blamed regulations for inflation.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.
Bye bye handicap ramps, easy open doors, automatic doors, and anything the help the disabled.
Gotta shovel that money to the top donchaknow
