Talk:Unfunded mandate

Earlier submission included the Americans with Disabilities Act as an unfunded mandate. ADA regulations state:

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

Section 4(2) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1503(2), excludes from coverage under that Act any proposed or final Federal regulation that ``establishes or enforces any statutory rights that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or disability.'' Accordingly, this rulemaking is not subject to the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

seems perjorative?
Trying to be neutral here, but if there are examples given of unfunded mandates that unduly burden the states, maybe there should be mention of a generally positively received unfunded mandate, such as handicapped accessibility laws? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.23.52 (talk) 04:53, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

ADA is listed as an example
We've listed the ADA as an example of an unfunded mandate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.173.14.70 (talk) 04:39, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
