Section 11.2.21.8 - BACKGROUND
Section 188 of WIOA prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or political affiliation or belief or, for any beneficiaries, applicants, and participants only, on the basis of citizenship status as a lawfully admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States or for participation in a WIOA Title I financially assisted program or activity. The federal regulations (29 C.F.R. Part 38) clarify the application of the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIOA and provide uniform procedures for implementing them. Examples of discriminatory acts specifically prohibited, other than those based on a disability, are set forth in 29 C.F.R. Sections 37.6. The regulatory requirements associated with employment practices and communications with individuals with disabilities are set forth in 29 C.F.R. Sections 38.12 through 38.17.
