Final Regulations Implementing the ADAAA

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) has announced final regulations to implement the ADA Amendments Act (“ADAAA”).   As explained in the EEOC’s press release, “[T]he regulations are designed to simplify the determination of who has a ‘disability’ and make it easier for people to establish that they are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.”  The regulations can be viewed on the Federal Register website and additional information concerning the regulations and the ADAAA can be viewed on the EEOC website.
