The Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration invites you to a Small Business Roundtable on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Orders, 13771 and 13777, the Office of Advocacy has held roundtables across the country to hear from small businesses regarding regulations that impact their business.

Representatives from the Department of Justice’s Disability Rights Section have been invited to provide a high-level introduction on three ADA hot topics for small businesses—physical accessibility, website accessibility, and service animals.  Then, there will be an opportunity for small businesses to share their experiences on these issues and other ADA areas and provide general feedback during a DOJ Listening Session.  Please note that during the roundtable, we will not be seeking any collective consensus on these issues and any comments made during this roundtable will not be considered official comments on any past, present, or future DOJ rulemaking.

• To attend in person: RSVP by reply e-mail if you plan to attend the meeting to: Janis.Reyes@sba.gov or call at 202-619-0312. Please RSVP as soon as possible, as space is extremely limited.
