The ADA went back to the conference committee and was passed
out without the Grassley amendment and without the Chapman
amendment. The Grassley amendment was replaced by another
which establishes a committee within the Ethics Committee
which will handle ADA complaints. Chapman was replaced
by an amendment by Hatch which requires the Secretary of
Health and Human Services to publish a list of
communicable diseases transmitted by food handling. This is
to be done every year.
======================================================
The ADA Conference Committee Report was just approved by
the House by an overwhelmig margin, after surviving a
last minute effort by a majority of Republicans to
recommit the bill.
WE WON!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
WORKED HARD OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS TO BRING US TO
THIS LANDMARK VOTE IN DISABILITY RIGHTS HISTORY!
In the end, the support in both bodies was incrediblly
strong.
United in our abilities we will have equal access
to the American Dream!
Thanks!
