The Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted on July 26, 1990. Its purpose is to provide broad anti-discrimination protections for all persons with physical and mental impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities. The ADA covers employment, public services, public accommodations and services operated by private entities and telecommunications relay services.
