ADA INFORMATION:

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a comprehensive civil rights law for people with disabilities that became effective July 26, 2000. The United States Department of Justice enforces the requirements of Title II, addressing programs, services, and activities of state and local government. Missouri’s courts strive to make the courts’ programs and services accessible to all. Visit the ADA home page on the United States Department of Justice website for more information.

The Access to Justice Program helps courts provide full community access to programs within existing facilities and offers guidance on planning new construction and renovations. The program also guides courts in providing auxiliary aids and services for individuals requesting accommodations due to a disability.

By statute, courts are required to provide, based on expressed needs, auxiliary aids or services to interpret any proceeding for a person who is deaf or hard of hearing (Section 476.753, RSMo). This includes a person who is a party, juror, witness, spectator, or a juvenile whose parent, guardian, or foster parent is deaf or hard of hearing, if the juvenile is brought to any court proceeding.

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), the Missouri Office of State Courts Administrator will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities based on disability in its services, programs, or activities.
