ADA Coordinator and the ADA
Under Title II of the ADA, public entities like local and state governments with more than 50 employees are required to appoint an employee to be the "ADA Coordinator." (see § 35.107 Designation of responsible employee and adoption of grievance procedures).
The ADA Coordinator's role is to 'coordinate [public entity's] efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities" under Title II of the ADA.
