4799 REVIEW DENIED The Unruh Act (51) does not prohibit a practice that applies equally to all persons, even if it has a disparate impact on disabled persons; the primary purpose of the Disabled Persons Act (Civil Code sections 54 - 55) is to allow all persons equal access to physical places, and perhaps to intangible locations like internet sites; neither Act requires accommodations for learning disabilities on a standardized test; disabled persons who are denied rights in a way that would violate the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may maintain successful actions under the Unruh and Disabled Persons Acts.CitationTURNER v ASS'N OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES (MCAT Accommodation) 167 CA4 1401 [See: CivC 51, 54-55; Belton v Comcast 151 CA4 1224, T/AT 8/07; Koebke v Bernardo Heights 36 C4 824, T/AT 9/05; Urhausen v Longs 155 CA4 254, T/AT 10/07]
