On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act.

On July 26, 1990, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that a young woman, later identified as Kimberly Bergalis, had been infected with the AIDS virus, apparently by her dentist.

On July 26, 2000, a federal judge in New York approved a $1.25 billion settlement between Swiss banks and more than a half million plaintiffs who alleged the banks had hoarded money deposited by Holocaust victims.
