The Disabled Rights Action Committee (DRAC) collects community reports and follows up on ADA violations in Utah. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. Title III of the ADA prohibits private places of public accommodation from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. Examples of public accommodations include privately-owned, leased or operated facilities like hotels, restaurants, retail merchants, doctor’s offices, golf courses, private schools, day care centers, health clubs, sports stadiums, movie theaters, and so on.

If you have recently visited one of these locations and found it to be inaccessible, please tell us about your experience. We will follow up with that business to bring it into compliance with the ADA.

If you have any questions, please email us at contact@disabledrightsutah.org.
