While the internet has become central to daily life, websites have overwhelmingly remained inaccessible to the millions of users who have disabilities. Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to combat discrimination against people with disabilities. Passed in 1990, it lacks any specific mention of the internet Courts are split as to whether the ADA applies to websites, and if so, what actions businesses must take to comply with the law.

These persons attempt to protect their interests through formal or informal participation in rulemaking affecting them.

These economically underprivileged persons are usually unable to keep themselves adequately …
