The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) announced on it’s 35th birthday that by next year, it will be much thinner.
Despite shedding some extra compliance guidance online back in April, the current administration has convinced the law that its body is still bloated.
“Gotta eliminate this excess waste,” said the ADA, loosening the string around its scroll. Some other laws were surprised at the ADA’s insistence on losing a couple pounds of flesh over the next three years. They believed that it will become much more difficult for the law to exercise itself.
“Even if it started dieting, there’s not much pork in the ADA,” said the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “And not much fat to cut.”
In 2008, the ADA gained some amendments and everyone at the birthday party commented on it’s bigger statute. This was the biggest change in the law since its conception in 1990.
There were no specifics as to how much of law the ADA wanted to lose, but it promised that it won’t try for a full repeal, at least in the next year.
The announcement has inspired some other laws such as Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to vow to cut down on their excess.
