The Americans with Disabilities Act Turns 33

Friday, July 21, 2023

On July 26th, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will turn 33 years old. The ADA first passed in 1990 and was signed by then President George H. Bush. The law protects the rights of Americans from discrimination based on their disability. The ADA National Network has put together a toolkit to help spread awareness about the impact of this monumental law. There will be a press conference and celebration for the 33rd year of the Americans with Disabilities Act at 1pm on July 26th at the Oklahoma State Capitol. Come celebrate and be sure to invite your legislators!
