WASHINGTON, March 18 (UPI) -- The Justice Department released two new videos Friday to make it easier for businesses to understand and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The act bans discrimination against the disabled.
One video, "ADA Signing Ceremony," documents former President George H.W. Bush's signing the ADA into law July 26, 1990.
The 22-minute video was provided by the George Bush Presidential Library. It is being re-released on the Internet and on DVD to increase awareness of the ADA in advance of the 15th anniversary of the law's signing, which will be celebrated on July 26.
The second video, "10 Small Business Mistakes," identifies common mistakes that small businesses make when trying to comply with the ADA. The film runs 13-minutes, featuring statements by store owners expressing their misunderstandings about the ADA, followed by responses from Assistant Attorney General R. Alexander Acosta, chief of the Civil Rights Division, and other department employees explaining the law in common sense terms.
The videos are accessible online at ada.gov.
