28 CFR Part 36 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations - Movie Theaters; Movie Captioning and Audio Description Final Rule

Relationship to Other Laws

Section 36.103 of the Department's regulation implementing title III of the ADA states that except as otherwise provided in part 36, that part shall not be construed to allow a lesser standard than the standards applied under title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791) or the regulations issued by Federal agencies under that title. In addition, the title III regulation specifies that part 36 does not affect the obligations of a recipient of Federal financial assistance to comply with the requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and any implementing regulations issued by Federal agencies. Finally, part 36 does not invalidate or limit the remedies, rights, and procedures provided under any Federal, State, or local law (including State common law) that affords greater or equal protection to individuals with disabilities or individuals associated with them. These provisions remain unchanged. Compliance with the Department's ADA regulations does not ensure compliance with other Federal statutes.
