Default RE: AMA and Disabilities

Good points there JR



Disability law is largely regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. This Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, housing, education, and access to public services.

Since we are not concerned with employment, housing, education, or public services the ADA just doesn't apply.

Normally discriminating based on disabilities could be cause for revoking the charter of an AMA club. But not if the AMA instructed the club to do so.

Discrimination is not in the equation.
