> Dear CCDC Members and Allies:
> 
> As you know ... together ... we have tried for a few years to get a "Colorado
> ADA" --in other words to make our state civil rights laws mirror the ADA.
> Right now the disability civil rights laws are clunky, in several different
> areas of law and leave out some important enforcement provisions including
> civil damages.
> 
> Well, the wait is over ... Senate Bill 118 creates Colorado's ADA and will be
> heard in it's its first committee: Senate Judiciary on MONDAY APRIL 21 AT
> 1:30 PM IN SENATE COMMITTEE ROOM 352. The new bill draft that will be
> introduced at the Senate Hearing will make Colorado law consistent with ADA
> --the only differences will be that it will continue to grant public access
> to service dogs in training, and add an option for moderate monetary
> damages in cases where disability discrimination is proven.
> 
> *So this is not a drill ... Person with Disabilities are you ready to get
> involved?  Together let's make a Colorado ADA  engagement a reality.*
> 
> 
> 
> We need the room filled and also need all disability organizations to sign
> on for support.   To be part of the list of supporting organizations and
> individuals please
