Dear Senator Dole:

Yesterday at noon, the House/Senate conferees met on the Americans with Disabilities Act and stripped the Chapman “Foodhandlers” Amendment from the bill. KRA is very grateful to Kansas Congressman Bob Whitaker, a member of the Conference Committee, who voted to keep the Chapman Amendment in the ADA bill. The Kansas Restaurant Association also urges your support of an expected “motion to recommit” the ADA to conference committee so that the Chapman Amendment can be put back in.

The amendment language is as follows:

“It shall not be a violation of this Act for an employer to refuse to assign or continue to assign any employee with an infectious or communicable disease of public health significance to a job involving food handling, provided that the employer shall make reasonable accommodation that would offer an alternative employment opportunity for which the employee is qualified and for which the employee would sustain no economic damage.”

Your continued support of the Chapman Amendment is urgently needed and appreciated. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
