Kemp., a lawyer with the Washington law firm Powers, Pyles, Sutter & Verville P.C. The ADA applies mainly to public places such as restaurants, retailers, movie theaters and health care institutions. So they seem to be saying that if you have public premises and they are accessible then your web site must be as well. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
