Section 125.10  Purpose

a)         This Part establishes the grievance procedure required by 56 Fed. Reg. 35,718 (1991) (to be codified at 28 CFR 35.107) pursuant to Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (42 U.S.C.A. 12131 et seq. (Supp. 1991)) for the purpose of resolving grievances asserted by qualified individuals with disabilities.  Should any individual desire to review the ADA or its regulations to understand the rights, privileges and remedies afforded by it, please contact the designated coordinator.

b)         In general, the ADA requires that each program, service and activity offered by the Office of the Attorney General (Office), when viewed in its entirety, be readily accessible to and usable by qualified individuals with disabilities.

c)         It is the intention of the Office to foster open communication with all individuals requesting readily accessible programs, services and activities. The Office encourages supervisors of programs, services and activities to respond to requests for modifications before they become grievances.
