Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on Basis of Disabilities in Programs or Activities Conducted by Hud (24 C.F.R. 9)

摘要

This rule makes final a proposed rule published on May 30, 1991 which proposed to amend title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations to create a new part 9, that would provide for the enforcement of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in programs or activities conducted by HUD. The rule at 24 C.F.R. part 9 is distinguished from the rule at 24 C.F.R. part 8, which applies to private, State or local programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance from HUD. This final rule at 24 C.F.R. part 9 establishes standards for what constitutes discrimination on the basis of mental or physical disabilities; provides definitions for "individuals with disabilities" and "qualified individuals with disabilities"; establishes a complaint procedure for resolving allegations of discrimination; and also incorporates additional changes to reflect regulatory implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
