The Bush Administration in an effort to address the needs of the many disabled veterans returning from Iraq is supporting additional changes to the American's with Disabilities Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation that requires businesses to make accommodations for disabled consumers. See today's New York Times Article for additional details:
The support conflicts with the Bush Administration's efforts to limit consumer's rights to challenge big companies when they have been injured by a defective product. Moreover, it is a tacit admission that the numbers of veterans affected by the Iraq war justifies such broad economic measures to assist those soldiers in their return to civilian life.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes such changes.
