[nagdu] article

[Laura T]

forgive me for being less than excited about this law change if I understood the article correctly Tennessee is just now adding protection for guide dogs to the state laws the same protection we have had under the ADA since 1990 i did not see any additional protections above what the federal law says I think it is sad that it is now 23 years after the federal law was passed. yes I agree that the article was well written and informative I just feel like it should have happened in the early 90's  and If I understand the ADA correctly this change was not necessary for guide dog users to be protected because the federal law supersedes all state laws unless the state law provide more protection than the federal law.
again the article was fantastic and it is great that this has happened but where is the punishment of the lawmakers that it took 23 years after the federal law 
does this mean that the ADA was not being enforced in that state 
like I have always said people with disabilities have to fight twice as hard for half the respect 
thank you for listening
