yep, but not of the ADA (there is no grand father clause in there);
check it out if you don't believe me,
As I said earlier, I haven't had to read it in about 15 years, but
shortly after it was enacted someone told us we had to make our 100 year
old church building handicap accessible. This was simply not
economically possible. A little research quickly showed that we didn't,
in fact, have to do that. I don't remember now what the out was, but
there was an out and we confirmed it with several sources.
Maybe the law has been amended since then, but I doubt it. Almost every
restaurant within 20 miles of where I live isn't ADA compliant.
