- What it is
- The 2008 statute that amended the Americans with Disabilities Act. Its findings explain that Congress wanted the definition of disability to cover more people, and it names the Supreme Court's 2002 Toyota decision as having narrowed that protection.
- How much weight it carries
- The enacted text of the law, published by Congress. The findings describe Congress's intent; the operative rules are in the statute and the EEOC regulations that followed it.
Facts taken from this source
