Are all DLEG agencies expected to provide accommodations for people with disabilities?
Yes. DLEG is the lead state agency to ensure that ALL state departments and agencies are in compliance with state and federal disability rights laws. In June, 2004, Gov. Granholm appointed DLEG employee Patrick Cannon, executive director of the Michigan Commission for the Blind, to serve in the newly-created position of State Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator. Myrtle Gregg-LaFay of Human Resources is the department’s designated ADA coordinator and can be reached at (517) 335-5824 or gregg-lafaym@michigan.gov. Videos: DLEG Director David C.
