For example, the Department omitted the question ‘‘What is an Olmstead Plan in the public employment service system context?’’ because it repeated content that the Department has already detailed in its guidance document on the integration mandate and Olmstead that was issued in 2011.7 In addition, we have received user feedback from the public asking the Department to use more plain language and to streamline the content of our guidance documents so that they are easier for lay users to read and understand. We made numerous edits throughout the 2023 guidance with that user feedback in mind. Third, the Department sought to enhance legal precision throughout the document. For example, we included the question, ‘‘What is the fundamental alteration defense,’’ to ensure that the 2023 guidance addresses elements of proof as well as limitations on the obligation to comply with the law. The Department’s 2023 guidance is being issued consistent with the Attorney General’s July 1, 2021 memorandum entitled ‘‘Issuance and Use of Guidance Documents by the Department of Justice.’’ 8 The guidance is available on the Department’s website at https://www.ada.gov/resources/ olmstead-employment-qa/ and the Department’s guidance portal at https:// www.justice.gov/guidance.
