disability discrimination; The new amendment asserts that the definition of disability is
intended to be a less-demanding standard than the standard applied by the court
- Clarifies and expands the meaning and application of the definition of disability in 3
ways:
1. Provides that the definition of disability shall be constructed in favor of broad

this Act
2. Prohibits consideration of mitigating measures such as medication, assistive
technology, accommodations, or modifications when determining whether an
impairment substantially limits a major life activity
3. Removes from the "regarded as" prong of the disability definition (the third prong of
the definition), the requirement that an individual demonstrates that the impairment that

perceived to be substantial
