Act, an individual who believes that he or she has been subjected to 
discrimination on the basis of disability by a public entity may, by 
himself or herself or by an authorized representative, file a 
complaint. The Department of Justice must address the complaint or 
refer the complaint to the appropriate Federal agency. Any Federal 
agency that receives a complaint of discrimination on the basis of 
disability by a public entity must review the complaint to determine 
whether it has jurisdiction under Section 504. If the agency does not 
have jurisdiction under Section 504, it must determine whether it is 
the designated agency responsible for complaints filed against that 
public entity under title II of the ADA. If the agency does not have 
jurisdiction under section 504 and is not the designated agency under 
title II of the ADA, it must refer the complaint to the Department of 
Justice.
