This article offers a glimpse of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") of 1990, as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 ("ADAAA"), at its 30th anniversary. It considers current issues before the courts, primarily legal cases from 2020 and 2021, and new questions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, such the latitude of the ADA's antidiscrimination protections and its definition of disability. It provides a quick primer on the basics of the ADA: employment discrimination under Title I, antidiscrimination mandates for state and local governments under Title II, and commands to places of accommodation offering services to the public under Title III. The ADA at 30 remains a beacon for a future in which all people, regardless of individual difference, will be welcomed as full and equal members of society.
本文回顾了1990年的《美国残疾人法案》（“ADA”）在2008年经《美国残疾人法案修订案》（“ADAAA”）修订后迎来30周年的情况。文章探讨了当前法院面临的问题，主要是2020年和2021年的法律案件，以及鉴于新冠疫情出现的新问题，如ADA反歧视保护的范围及其对残疾的定义。文章还简要介绍了ADA的基本情况：第一章规定的就业歧视、第二章规定的州和地方政府反歧视要求，以及第三章规定的对向公众提供服务的住宿场所的要求。30岁的ADA仍然是一个灯塔，照亮了一个未来，在这个未来里，所有人，无论个体差异如何，都将作为社会的正式和平等成员受到欢迎。
