This law confirms that federal agencies can write rules explaining what "disability" means. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Transportation all have this power. Their rules must match the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Transportation already have authority to issue regulations under this chapter. This section clarifies that this authority includes the power to write regulations explaining the definition of "disability" in section 12102, including rules for how to interpret it. It also includes the power to write regulations explaining the definitions in section 12103. Any such regulations must be consistent with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
