[nagdu] The Requirement of a Harness

[Marion & Martin]

Jenine,
    The Americans with Disabilities Act specifically exempts religious 
organizations. The pertinent section is pasted below.

SEC. 307. EXEMPTIONS FOR PRIVATE CLUBS AND RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.



42 USC 12187.



The provisions of this title shall not apply to private clubs or 
establishments exempted from coverage under title II of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964 (42

U.S.C. 2000- a(e)) or to religious organizations or entities controlled by 
religious organizations, including places of worship.



Fraternally yours,

Marion
