ADA.gov News -- Olmstead Update

The Department of Justice has released a new technical assistance document describing public entities’ obligations and individuals’ rights under the integration mandate of title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the 1999 landmark Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C.

Additionally, in commemorating the 12th anniversary of the Olmstead decision yesterday, the department launched a new section of its ADA website, www.ada.gov/olmstead, providing information and resources about the decision and its enforcement. In addition to the newly created technical assistance document, users can visit the site to find briefs filed by the Department, as well as other materials relevant to this important area of law.

The department also expanded its existing ADA.gov E-mail subscription service to include Olmstead enforcement. To monitor developments, a subscription link is provided at www.ada.gov/olmstead.
