Discrimination by State and Local Government and Government-funded Agencies and Service Providers
State and local government agencies -- including public colleges and universities -- and entities of any kind that receive federal funding are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of disability, race, color or national origin. This includes:
- Public buildings that are inaccessible to people with disabilities.
- Public and publicly funded programs that do not provide accessible communication for people who are deaf or blind.
- Government agencies that refuse to provide reasonable accommodations in state laws, regulations, policies or procedures.
- Medical practices that take Medicaid or Medicare but refuse to provide sign language interpreters or other accommodations.
These are just some of the examples of illegal discrimination. If you believe a state or local government agency or federally-funded entity has discriminated against you, you may contact us to evaluate your case.
