  • Section Number: 34.5
  • Section Name: Specific discriminatory actions prohibited on the ground of disability.

    (a) In providing any aid, benefit, service or training under a JTPA-

contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, on the ground of 
disability:
    (1) Deny a qualified individual with a disability the opportunity to 
participate in or benefit from the aid, benefit, service or training;
    (2) Afford a qualified individual with a disability an opportunity 
to participate in or benefit from the aid, benefit, service or training 
that is not equal to that afforded others;
    (3) Provide a qualified individual with a disability with an aid, 
benefit, service or training that is not as effective in affording equal 
opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to 
reach the same level of achievement as that provided to others;
    (4) Provide different or separate aid, benefits, or services to 
individuals with disabilities or to any class of individuals with 
disabilities unless such action is necessary to provide qualified 
individuals with disabilities with aid, benefits, services or training 
that are as effective as those provided to others;
    (5) Aid or perpetuate discrimination against a qualified individual 
with a disability by providing significant assistance to an agency, 
organization, or person that discriminates on the basis of disability in 
providing any aid, benefit, service or training to participants;
    (6) Deny a qualified individual with a disability the opportunity to 
participate as a member of planning or advisory boards;
    (7) Otherwise limit a qualified individual with a disability in 
enjoyment of any right, privilege, advantage, or opportunity enjoyed by 
others receiving any aid, benefit, service or training.
    (b) A recipient may not deny a qualified individual with a 
disability the opportunity to participate in JTPA-funded programs or 
activities despite the existence of permissibly separate or different 
programs or activities.
    (c) A recipient shall administer JTPA-funded programs and activities 
in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified 
individuals with disabilities.
    (d) A recipient may not, directly or through contractual or other 
arrangements, utilize criteria or administrative methods:
    (1) That have the effect of subjecting qualified individuals with 
disabilities to discrimination on the ground of disability;
    (2) That have the purpose or effect of defeating or substantially 
impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the JTPA-funded program or 
activity with respect to individuals with disabilities; or
    (3) That perpetuate the discrimination of another entity if both 
entities are subject to common administrative control or are agencies of 
the same state.
    (e) In determining the site or location of facilities, a grant 
applicant or recipient may not make selections with the purpose or 
effect of excluding individuals with disabilities from, denying them the 
benefits of, or otherwise subjecting them to discrimination under any 
JTPA-funded program or activity, or with the purpose or effect of 
defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the 
objectives of the JTPA-funded program or activity or this part with 
respect to individuals with disabilities.
    (f) As used in this section, references to the aid, benefit, service 
or training provided under a JTPA-funded program

through a facility that has been constructed, expanded, altered, leased, 
rented, or otherwise acquired, in whole or in part, with Federal 
financial assistance under JTPA.
    (g) The exclusion of an individual without a disability from the 
benefits of a program limited by Federal statute or Executive Order to 
individuals with disabilities or the exclusion of a specific class of 
individuals with disabilities from a program limited by Federal statute 
or Executive Order to a different class of individuals with disabilities 
is not prohibited by this part.
    (h) This part does not require a recipient to provide to individuals 
with disabilities: personal devices, such as wheelchairs; individually 
prescribed devices, such as prescription eyeglasses or hearing aids; 
readers for personal use or study; or services of a personal nature 
including assistance in eating, toileting, or dressing.
