Subject: REFERENCE POINTS: Resources on the New ADA Amendment Act


 

The new ADAA becomes effective on January 1, 2009. While the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has not yet completed the regulations for the new legislation, the Job Accommodation Network has developed a publication and a resource page featuring information that is currently available about the Act. The new publication is called JAN's Accommodation and Compliance Series: The ADA Amendments Act of 2008.  ) It will be periodically updated as additional information is made public and can be found at  http://www.jan.wvu.edu/LINKS/adalinks.htm
