Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act widened the scope of what types of things are covered under the disabilities umbrella, including a more expansive definition of "major life activities" and "substantially limits." It did not focus specifically on hiring employees with visible disabilities or limit disabilities to only physical disabilities. It also did not decrease fines for not employing disabled persons, but did provide tax breaks for businesses who hire disabled citizens.
