Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination based on disability by any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Discrimination may consist of exclusion from participation in or denial of the benefits of programs and activities operated by a department, agency or other form of State or Local government. Section 504 applies to Sullivan County, Tennessee as well as all sub-recipients of Federal funds.
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 lends further protection on the basis established by Section 504 by prohibiting discrimination, based on disability by public entities regardless of whether they receive Federal financial assistance. The Act is divided into five titles describing requirements related to:
1) Employment;
2) State and local government services;
3) Public accommodations;
4) Telecommunications;
5) Miscellaneous provisions
