What law covers public accommodations and the accessibility of those accommodations?

The correct answer is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This law, enacted in 1990, is crucial for ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equal access to public accommodations and services. The ADA specifically prohibits discrimination based on disability and mandates that public facilities—such as hotels, restaurants, and theaters—be accessible to people with various disabilities. This includes requirements for ramps, designated parking spaces, and accessible restrooms, among other modifications.

The other acts mentioned do not focus on public accommodations in the context of accessibility. The Montana Landlord Tenant Act primarily governs the relationship between landlords and tenants regarding rental agreements and housing issues. Megan's Law pertains to the registration and community notification regarding sex offenders. The Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is a federal requirement for disclosing the presence of lead-based paint in properties constructed before 1978, focusing on safety rather than accessibility. Each of these acts serves important functions but does not specifically address the standards for public accommodation accessibility as the ADA does.
