What do Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit?

• A. Employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector only.
• B. Employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in state and local governments only.
• C. Employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government.
• D. Employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector and in state and local governments.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the ADA protects people with disabilities in employment across both private employers and state/local government employers. Title I bans discrimination in hiring, advancement, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment, and it requires reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals unless doing so would cause undue hardship. Title V contains miscellaneous provisions (such as protections against retaliation and clarifications about how the law interacts with other statutes) rather than creating new areas of protection. So the overall scope includes private sector employers and state/local governments. (Federal employees are covered mainly by the Rehabilitation Act, not Title I.)
