At Disability Briefing, Sen. Harkin Says "In The Home" Policy Must Change, Comments On Restoring ADA - USA

A February 27 briefing about disability policy issues sponsored by a Washington law firm included remarks by Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), committee staff from key healthcare committees in Congress, and disability organizations. Senator Harkin, who chairs the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the new Congress may pursue restoration of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sen. Harkin said the ADA needs to be restored because the law has been interpreted more narrowly than Congress originally intended.
