Which ADA provision applies to all businesses regardless of the number of employees?

• A. Employment
• B. Public accommodations
• C. Telecommunications
• D. Miscellaneous

Answer: (B)

This item tests which ADA provision applies to all businesses regardless of how many employees they have. Public accommodations, covered under Title III, include private entities that are open to the public—stores, restaurants, hotels, theaters, gyms, and similar services. The obligation here is to provide access to goods and services for everyone, which means removing barriers and ensuring accessible entrances, routes, restrooms, and communications at these places, no matter the size of the staff.

Other provisions tie accessibility to specific conditions like workforce size—employment protections typically apply only to employers meeting a minimum number of employees—while telecommunications provisions focus on access to communication services, and miscellaneous provisions cover other varied topics. The universal, size-independent requirement for public-facing businesses is what makes public accommodations the correct choice.
