people with disabilities in several areas, including employment, transportation, public
accommodations, communications, and access to state and local government programs and
services.

you are able to stand a fair chance of getting the job just like everyone else or if you are an
employer looking for an employee it will protect your business from lawsuits or ensure that your
employees and customers are protected.

The three things that would be illegal for an employer to ask would be religion, sexual
orientation, and gender identity.
