EEOC RIN: 3046-AB10 Publication ID: Spring 2018 
Title: Amendments to Regulations Under the Americans With Disabilities Act 
Abstract:

This rule amends the regulations to implement the equal employment provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to address the interaction between title I of the ADA and wellness programs.  On August 22, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the EEOC to reconsider its regulations under the ADA related to incentives and employer-sponsored wellness plans.  See AARP v. EEOC , Civ. Action No. 16-2113 (D.D.C. Aug. 22, 2017).  In accordance with the court’s ruling, the EEOC will consider and take actions to cure defects in the rule.  The final rule was published on May 17, 2016 (81 FR 31125) and completed in the fall 2016 agenda as RIN 3046-AB01.  The new NPRM is projected for January 2019.
