The Leadership Conference Filed an Amicus Brief in United States v. State of Georgia

On January 4, 2017, The Leadership Conference filed a brief urging the court to reject the State of Georgia’s motion to dismiss the case. Georgia moved to dismiss the action on several grounds, among them a challenge to the Attorney General’s authority to enforce Title II of the ADA We argued that Title II of the ADA and valid DOJ regulations expressly provide the Attorney General with the authority to bring an enforcement action, as Congress has countenanced and federal courts have recognized since the ADA’s enactment.
