Dr. David Ketroser believes that the disabled community is ignored by businesses and the lawmakers themselves. He is on a mission to merge the disabled community into society without fault. Minnesota has now adopted an amendment to the Minnesota Human Rights Act that requires the complainant to detail each violation and give the business that may or may not be in violation to respond to the complaints. According to Deb McMillan, director of government affairs for the Twin West Chamber of Commerce, 'this has slowed down egregious drive-by litigation'. This suggests that there are many loopholes in the ADA that needs to be addressed. While the law is to protect the disabled community, there seems to be lead way for some unfortunately to take advantage. (Reinan,

The first significant move in the public disability policy happened in 1973 with the introduction of section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. This section, which prohibited discrimination against disabled beneficiaries of federal funds was created after several previous laws in relation with Title VII. Section 504 made Congress recognize that there was a lower social and economic status given to people with disabilities, and it was not caused by the actual disability, it was caused by social prejudices as well as social barriers.
