The Persons With Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PWDCRA) is a Michigan law designed to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination in key areas of daily life, including employment, housing, public accommodations, education, and access to services. Passed in 1976, the PWDCRA ensures that individuals with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as those without disabilities.
The Act is a state-level civil rights law, meaning it applies specifically to Michigan residents and businesses operating in the state. It is similar to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) but has its own provisions that sometimes offer broader protections. The law holds employers, landlords, businesses, schools, and government entities accountable for ensuring accessibility and fairness.
At its core, the PWDCRA is about removing barriers—whether physical, procedural, or attitudinal—to ensure that people with disabilities are fully included in society.
