Upcoming Events

Deregulation and Disability Rights: Federal Policy, Civil Rights, and the Future of the ADA

March 12, 2026, 9:00 to 10:00 am

The current administration has signaled a significant retreat from federal business regulation, including regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Housing Act (FHA), and other critical federal statutes. This shift is evident in actions such as the Department of Justice's withdrawal of ADA guidance documents and the proposed elimination of affirmative action requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, directing agencies to deprioritize the Disparate Impact standard. 

1 standard CLE credit will be requested.
