In what year was the Americans with Disabilities Act enacted?

• A. 1987
• B. 1989
• C. 1990
• D. 1992

Answer: (C)

The moment federal accessibility protections become law nationwide is what this item tests. The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush, establishing comprehensive protections against discrimination and setting accessibility requirements that affect building design, spaces, and services. That makes 1990 the correct year. Earlier years reflect stages of discussion or related but separate actions, while 1992 is after enactment and not the year the law itself was enacted.
