The Americans with Disabilities Act's Title I and Title V prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in which sectors?

• A. Private sector only.
• B. State government only.
• C. Private sector and state and local governments.
• D. Federal government only.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that the ADA’s Title I sets employment protections against discrimination for qualified individuals with disabilities by employers in the private sector as well as by state and local governments. Title V reinforces these protections through miscellaneous provisions that support enforcement and remedies. Because these protections apply to private employers and to state/local government employers, those sectors are covered. The federal government isn’t included under Title I; it’s addressed elsewhere (the Rehabilitation Act). So the correct sectors are private sector and state and local governments.
