A municipal court must only comply with ADA requirements if it employs more than 15 persons.

• A. It depends on funding
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Only for new buildings

Answer: (C)

ADA requirements apply to public entities regardless of how many people they employ. Public entities, including municipal courts, must make their programs, services, and activities accessible to individuals with disabilities under Title II of the ADA. This means accessible entrances and facilities, accessible communication, and reasonable accommodations, regardless of staff size or funding.

The idea that compliance depends on having more than 15 employees is not correct for public entities. The 15-employee rule is associated with other protections and contexts, not the obligation of a city court to meet ADA accessibility. So a municipal court must comply even if it has a small staff or limited funds, using feasible accommodations and any allowed exemptions (like undue burden) as appropriate.
