ADA Title III I believe. Handles should be of a flipper type. Not ones that you have to twist to turn on and off. That way, if you don't have hands with the ability to grip, you could still turn the water on or off (or open the door) by simply pushing down on the handle.
As for the two sinks, Hank did you look underneath the counter? If they looked identical on top, perhaps the one that was handicap assessible allowed a person in a wheelchair to move up to the sink and not encounter any obstructions underneath (pipes, etc.) Just a guess.
