title: Broadening the scope of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
abstract: With the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, America's historical commitment to an egalitarian society took on a new perspective. Working in tandem with the Rehabilitation Act, the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act expanded the coverage for disabled people. One example involving weight-based discrimination is discussed.
