A pending state bill would waive the immunity the state of Texas has claimed from provisions of the American with Disabilities Act.
State Attorney General Greg Abbott has gone to court to declare that Texas has sovereign immunity from the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark federal law guaranteeing full civil rights to people with disabilities. Although his claim was rejected, it was done in a narrow ruling. The pending legislation would protect the enforcement of the ADA in the future.
Abbott's attack on the ADA was limited to claims against the state of Texas itself , not the entire ADA.
