Bussiness are Forced to Make Alterations for the Disabled

    During the Bush Administration, President Bush proposed regulations that require businesses to make structural alterations to offices and stores to hold the disabled citizens. Regulations of the Disabilities Act will also be strongly reinforced and the businesses must oblige to giving the disabled customers equal level of service as other customers. Reported by the New York Times, these regulations would gain so much respect for those who are disabilities because they can finally be treated

"For example, restaurants would have to make sure that blind customers are aware of what dishes are available, either by providing menus in Braille or having a waiter read the selections. Banks would have to make automatic teller machines accessible to disabled individuals, largely by building or moving the machines low enough to be reached by people in wheelchairs".

The regulations were put in place to handle public establishments to accommodate for the disabled community. If the law is not obeyed, regulators ordered,

“A fine of up to $50,000 for the first offense and up to $100,000 for subsequent offenses. Disabled people or the Justice Department may seek a court order to enforce the law, and the Justice Department may also seek civil damages on behalf of disabled people who complain of biased treatment".

In the end, these regulations were only set in place to benefit of the lives of the disabled so they can live just like we do. They now have the services and support needed to have a normal life with their disability.
