EEOC's proposal, which revises its existing regulations interpreting the Americans with Disabilities Act, was approved June 17 by a 2-1 commission vote and is currently being reviewed by the White HouseOffice of Management and Budget and other federal agencies (115 DLR AA-1, 6/18/09).
The article above goes on to touch on the following topics:

- 'Per Se' Disabilities vs. Individualized Analysis
- Retroactivity
