Answer:

Public buildings had to build ramps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The act sanctioned in 1990 prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections than those protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that made discrimination based on race, sex, religion, and national religion illegal.

Title II of the act prohibits discrimination by public entities at the local and state level. Regulations must cover access to all programs and services the entity provides. Physical access must be granted to everyone. By this Title, it is understood that public buildings had to build ramps to assure access for everyone.

I hope this answer helps you.
