B
In 1990 the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed to eliminate discrimination against per-sons with physical or mental disabilities. The Age Discrimination and Employment Act protects individuals over the age of 65 . The Civil Rights Act protects individuals from employment dis-crimination on the basis of qualifications unrelated to job performance (such as race) and pro-motes employment based on ability and merit. The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires places of employment to be free of hazards and requires they write and enact safety policies.
