(in the US) You are probably referring to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

However, the broad characterization of it as "potecting"individuals with disabilities is somewhat incorrect. It doesn't so much 'protect' them as it does spell out certain requirements and accomodations which are required to be made to accomodate individuals with "special needs."
