About the Office

The State Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator's Office (SADACO) was established in April 1992 by Governor Walter Hickel through Administrative Order 129. This order mandates SADACO to ensure that all executive branch agencies comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Responsibility for compliance is shared by each state agency with additional, specific responsibilities assigned to Department ADA Coordinators. SADACO's enforcement efforts promote awareness and accountability for state programs and services, reducing the number of complaints and adverse legal actions.

Mission Statement

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Program coordinates statewide implementation of disability rights laws to ensure people with disabilities have access to facilities, programs, and services within the executive branch of state government. Administrative Orders 129 and 262 establish the ADA Compliance Program and set the controlling policies in regard to disability issues.
