I distinctly remember there was a person from Nebraska who sued the ASA because the rules didn't allow for her to play.

If these rules we're discussing were enacted before 1990 (and I don't remember them from back then), then they did predate the ADA.
I'm not sure of the date, but this rule is nothing new and has been around a while.
