The ADA places restrictions on employers when it comes to asking job applicants to answer medical questions, take a medical exam, or identify a disability. An employer may not ask a job applicant, for example, if he or she has a disability (or about the nature of an obvious disability).
Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.
A federal law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires most business and facilities to provide reasonable access and accommodation for all disabled customers, clients, and members of the public. The ADA applies to almost all businesses that are open to the public, regardless of size.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a place of public accommodation like many businesses that are open to the public cannot discriminate against a customer or visitor on the basis of the individual's disability in the access and enjoyment of the business.
Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The ADA also protects you if you have a history of such a disability, or if an employer believes that you have such a disability, even if you don't.
The good news is the ADA does not change this: you are always allowed to hire the most capable person. However, the ADA does limit what you can and can't ask a disabled applicant and requires you to accommodate their needs so long as they are reasonable.
The ADA requires employers to treat any medical information obtained from a disability-related inquiry or medical examination (including medical information from voluntary health or wellness programs (9)), as well as any medical information voluntarily disclosed by an employee, as a confidential medical record.
