Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act covers which entities?

• A. Federal Agencies
• B. Public Accommodations
• C. State and Local Governments
• D. Private Employers

Answer: (C)

Title II of the ADA targets public entities that are state and local governments. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by those government bodies and requires that their programs, services, and activities be accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes how they operate public transportation, courts, police and fire services, public housing, and the ways they communicate with people who have disabilities—ensuring effective communication and reasonable accommodations when needed. It does not cover private employers or most private businesses (that’s Title I) or public accommodations like hotels or restaurants (that’s Title III). It also isn’t focused on federal agencies, which are governed mainly by the Rehabilitation Act rather than Title II. So the entities described by Title II are state and local governments.
