SEC. 303. NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS IN PUBLIC
ACCOMMODATIONS AND
      COMMERCIAL FACILITIES.
    (a) Application of Term.--Except as provided in subsection (b), as applied
  to public accommodations and commercial facilities, discrimination for
  purposes of section 302(a) includes--
        (1) a failure to design and construct facilities for first occupancy
      later than 30 months after the date of enactment of this Act that are
      readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, except
      where an entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to
      meet the requirements of such subsection in accordance with standards set
      forth or incorporated by reference in regulations issued under this
      title; and
        (2) with respect to a facility or part thereof that is altered by, on
      behalf of, or for the use of an establishment in a manner that affects or
      could affect the usability of the facility or part thereof, a failure to
      make alterations in such a manner that, to the maximum extent feasible,
      the altered portions of the facility are readily accessible to and usable
      by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use
      wheelchairs. Where the entity is undertaking an alteration that affects
      or could affect usability of or access to an area of the facility
      containing a primary function, the entity shall also make the alterations
      in such a manner that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel
      to the altered area and the bathrooms, telephones, and drinking fountains
      serving the altered area, are readily accessible to and usable by
      individuals with disabilities where such alterations to the path of
      travel or the bathrooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the
      altered area are not disproportionate to the overall alterations in terms
      of cost and scope (as determined under criteria established by the
      Attorney General).
    (b) Elevator.--Subsection (a) shall not be construed to require the
  installation of an elevator for facilities that are less than three stories
  or have less than 3,000 square feet per story unless the building is a
  shopping center, a shopping mall, or the professional office of a health care
  provider or unless the Attorney General determines that a particular category
  of such facilities requires the installation of elevators based on the usage
  of such facilities.

  SEC. 304. PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION IN SPECIFIED PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION
      SERVICES PROVIDED BY PRIVATE ENTITIES.
    (a) General Rule.--No individual shall be discriminated against on the
  basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of specified public
  transportation services provided by a private entity that is primarily
  engaged in the business of transporting people and whose operations affect
  commerce.
    (b) Construction.--For purposes of subsection (a), discrimination
  includes--
        (1) the imposition or application by a entity described in subsection
      (a) of eligibility criteria that screen out or tend to screen out an
      individual with a disability or any class of individuals with
      disabilities from fully enjoying the specified public transportation
      services provided by the entity, unless such criteria can be shown to be
      necessary for the provision of the services being offered;
        (2) the failure of such entity to--
            (A) make reasonable modifications consistent with those required
          under section 302(b)(2)(A)(ii);
            (B) provide auxiliary aids and services consistent with the
          requirements of section 302(b)(2)(A)(iii); and

          302(b)(2)(A) and with the requirements of section 303(a)(2);
        (3) the purchase or lease by such entity of a new vehicle (other than
      an automobile, a van with a seating capacity of less than 8 passengers,
      including the driver, or an over-the-road bus) which is to be used to
      provide specified public transportation and for which a solicitation is
      made after the 30th day following the effective date of this section,
      that is not readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
      disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs; except that the
      new vehicle need not be readily accessible to and usable by such
      individuals if the new vehicle is to be used solely in a demand
      responsive system and if the entity can demonstrate that such system,
      when viewed in its entirety, provides a level of service to such
      individuals equivalent to the level of service provided to the general
      public;
        (4)(A) the purchase or lease by such entity of an over-the-road bus
      which does not comply with the regulations issued under section
      306(a)(2); and
        (B) any other failure of such entity to comply with such regulations;
      and
        (5) the purchase or lease by such entity of a new van with a seating
      capacity of less than 8 passengers, including the driver, which is to be

      solicitation is made after the 30th day following the effective date of
      this section that is not readily accessible to or usable by individuals
      with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs; except that
      the new van need not be readily accessible to and usable by such
      individuals if the entity can demonstrate that the system for which the
      van is being purchased or leased, when viewed in its entirety, provides a
      level of service to such individuals equivalent to the level of service
      provided to the general public;
        (6) the purchase or lease by such entity of a new rail passenger car
      that is to be used to provide specified public transportation, and for
      which a solicitation is made later than 30 days after the effective date
      of this paragraph, that is not readily accessible to and usable by
      individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs;
      and
        (7) the remanufacture by such entity of a rail passenger car that is to
      be used to provide specified public transportation so as to extend its
      usable life for 10 years or more, or the purchase or lease by such entity
      of such a rail car, unless the rail car, to the maximum extent feasible,
      is made readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
      disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs.
    (c) Historical or Antiquated Cars.--
        (1) Exception.--To the extent that compliance with subsection (b)(2)(C)
      or (b)(7) would significantly alter the historic or antiquated character
      of a historical or antiquated rail passenger car, or a rail station
      served exclusively by such cars, or would result in violation of any
      rule, regulation, standard, or order issued by the Secretary of
      Transportation under the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970, such
      compliance shall not be required.
        (2) Definition.--As used in this subsection, the term "historical or
      antiquated rail passenger car" means a rail passenger car--
            (A) which is not less than 30 years old at the time of its use for
          transporting individuals;
            (B) the manufacturer of which is no longer in the business of
          manufacturing rail passenger cars; and
            (C) which--
                (i) has a consequential association with events or persons
              significant to the past; or
                (ii) embodies, or is being restored to embody, the distinctive

SEC. 305. STUDY.
    (a) Purposes.--The Office of Technology Assessment shall undertake a study
  to determine--
        (1) the access needs of individuals with disabilities to over-the-road
      buses and over-the-road bus service; and
        (2) the most cost-effective methods for providing access to over-the-
      road buses and over-the-road bus service to individuals with
      disabilities, particularly individuals who use wheelchairs, through all
      forms of boarding options.
    (b) Contents.--The study shall include, at a minimum, an analysis of the
  following:
        (1) The anticipated demand by individuals with disabilities for
      accessible over-the-road buses and over-the-road bus service.
        (2) The degree to which such buses and service, including any service
      required under sections 304(b)(4) and 306(a)(2), are readily accessible
      to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
        (3) The effectiveness of various methods of providing accessibility to
      such buses and service to individuals with disabilities.
        (4) The cost of providing accessible over-the-road buses and bus
      service to individuals with disabilities, including consideration of
      recent technological and cost saving developments in equipment and
      devices.
        (5) Possible design changes in over-the-road buses that could enhance
      accessibility, including the installation of accessible restrooms which
      do not result in a loss of seating capacity.
        (6) The impact of accessibility requirements on the continuation of
      over-the-road bus service, with particular consideration of the impact of
      such requirements on such service to rural communities.
    (c) Advisory Committee.--In conducting the study required by subsection
  (a), the Office of Technology Assessment shall establish an advisory
  committee, which shall consist of--
        (1) members selected from among private operators and manufacturers of
      over-the-road buses;
        (2) members selected from among individuals with disabilities,
      particularly individuals who use wheelchairs, who are potential riders of
      such buses; and
        (3) members selected for their technical expertise on issues included
      in the study, including manufacturers of boarding assistance equipment
      and devices.
  The number of members selected under each of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be
  equal, and the total number of members selected under paragraphs (1) and (2)
  shall exceed the number of members selected under paragraph (3).
    (d) Deadline.--The study required by subsection (a), along with
  recommendations by the Office of Technology Assessment, including any policy
  options for legislative action, shall be submitted to the President and
  Congress within 36 months after the date of the enactment of this Act. If the
  President determines that compliance with the regulations issued pursuant to
  section 306(a)(2)(B) on or before the applicable deadlines specified in
  section 306(a)(2)(B) will result in a significant reduction in intercity
  over-the-road bus service, the President shall extend each such deadline by 1
  year.
    (e) Review.--In developing the study required by subsection (a), the Office
  of Technology Assessment shall provide a preliminary draft of such study to
  the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board established
  under section 502 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 792). The
  Board shall have an opportunity to comment on such draft study, and any such
  comments by the Board made in writing within 120 days after the Board's
  receipt of the draft study shall be incorporated as part of the final study
  required to be submitted under subsection (d).

              which uses an over-the-road bus to provide transportation of
              individuals to provide accessibility to such bus; except that
              such regulations shall not require any structural changes in
              over-the-road buses in order to provide access to individuals who
              use wheelchairs during the effective period of such regulations

              recommendations resulting from such study, each private entity
              which uses an over-the-road bus to provide transportation to
              individuals to provide accessibility to such bus to individuals
              with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs.
                (iii) Effective period.--Subject to section 305(d), the
              regulations issued pursuant to this subparagraph shall take

  in subsection (a) that include standards applicable to facilities and
  vehicles covered under section 302.
    (c) Consistency With ATBCB Guidelines.--Standards included in regulations
  issued under subsections (a) and (b) shall be consistent with the minimum
  guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation
  Barriers Compliance Board in accordance with section 504 of this Act.
    (d) Interim Accessibility Standards.--
        (1) Facilities.--If final regulations have not been issued pursuant to
      this section, for new construction or alterations for which a valid and

      issuance of final regulations under this section, and for which the
      construction or alteration authorized by such permit begins within one
      year of the receipt of such permit and is completed under the terms of
      such permit, compliance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards
      in effect at the time the building permit is issued shall suffice to
      satisfy the requirement that facilities be readily accessible to and
      usable by persons with disabilities as required under section 303, except
      that, if such final regulations have not been issued one year after the

      complies with the laws and regulations (including the Minimum Guidelines
      and Requirements for Accessible Design and such supplemental minimum
      guidelines as are issued under section 504(a) of this Act) governing
      accessibility of such vehicles or cars, to the extent that such laws and

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

  SEC. 308. ENFORCEMENT.
    (a) In General.--
        (1) Availability of remedies and procedures.--The remedies and
      procedures set forth in section 204(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
      (42 U.S.C. 2000a-3(a)) are the remedies and procedures this title
      provides to any person who is being subjected to discrimination on the
      basis of disability in violation of this title or who has reasonable
      grounds for believing that such person is about to be subjected to
      discrimination in violation of section 303. Nothing in this section shall
      require a person with a disability to engage in a futile gesture if such
      person has actual notice that a person or organization covered by this
      title does not intend to comply with its provisions.
        (2) Injunctive relief.--In the case of violations of sections
      302(b)(2)(A)(iv) and section 303(a), injunctive relief shall include an
      order to alter facilities to make such facilities readily accessible to
      and usable by individuals with disabilities to the extent required by
      this title. Where appropriate, injunctive relief shall also include
      requiring the provision of an auxiliary aid or service, modification of a
      policy, or provision of alternative methods, to the extent required by
      this title.
    (b) Enforcement by the Attorney General.--
        (1) Denial of rights.--
            (A) Duty to investigate.--
                (i) In general.--The Attorney General shall investigate alleged
              violations of this title, and shall undertake periodic reviews of
              compliance of covered entities under this title.
                (ii) Attorney general certification.--On the application of a
              State or local government, the Attorney General may, in
              consultation with the Architectural and Transportation Barriers
              Compliance Board, and after prior notice and a public hearing at
              which persons, including individuals with disabilities, are
              provided an opportunity to testify against such certification,
              certify that a State law or local building code or similar
              ordinance that establishes accessibility requirements meets or
              exceeds the minimum requirements of this Act for the
              accessibility and usability of covered facilities under this
              title. At any enforcement proceeding under this section, such
              certification by the Attorney General shall be rebuttable
              evidence that such State law or local ordinance does meet or
              exceed the minimum requirements of this Act.
            (B) Potential violation.--If the Attorney General has reasonable
          cause to believe that--
                (i) any person or group of persons is engaged in a pattern or
              practice of discrimination under this title; or
                (ii) any person or group of persons has been discriminated
              against under this title and such discrimination raises an issue
              of general public importance,
          the Attorney General may commence a civil action in any appropriate
          United States district court.
        (2) Authority of court.--In a civil action under paragraph (1)(B), the
      court--
            (A) may grant any equitable relief that such court considers to be
          appropriate, including, to the extent required by this title--
                (i) granting temporary, preliminary, or permanent relief;
                (ii) providing an auxiliary aid or service, modification of
              policy, practice, or procedure, or alternative method; and
                (iii) making facilities readily accessible to and usable by
              individuals with disabilities;
            (B) may award such other relief as the court considers to be
          appropriate, including monetary damages to persons aggrieved when
          requested by the Attorney General; and
            (C) may, to vindicate the public interest, assess a civil penalty
          against the entity in an amount--
                (i) not exceeding $50,000 for a first violation; and
                (ii) not exceeding $100,000 for any subsequent violation.
        (3) Single violation.--For purposes of paragraph (2)(C), in determining
      whether a first or subsequent violation has occurred, a determination in
      a single action, by judgment or settlement, that the covered entity has
      engaged in more than one discriminatory act shall be counted as a single
      violation.
        (4) Punitive damages.--For purposes of subsection (b)(2)(B), the term
      "monetary damages" and "such other relief" does not include punitive
      damages.
        (5) Judicial consideration.--In a civil action under paragraph (1)(B),
      the court, when considering what amount of civil penalty, if any, is
      appropriate, shall give consideration to any good faith effort or attempt
      to comply with this Act by the entity. In evaluating good faith, the
      court shall consider, among other factors it deems relevant, whether the
      entity could have reasonably anticipated the need for an appropriate type
      of auxiliary aid needed to accommodate the unique needs of a particular
      individual with a disability.

  SEC. 309. EXAMINATIONS AND COURSES.
    Any person that offers examinations or courses related to applications,
  licensing, certification, or credentialing for secondary or postsecondary
  education, professional, or trade purposes shall offer such examinations or
  courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities or
  offer alternative accessible arrangements for such individuals.

  SEC. 310. EFFECTIVE DATE.
    (a) General Rule.--Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), this
  title shall become effective 18 months after the date of the enactment of
  this Act.
    (b) Civil Actions.--Except for any civil action brought for a violation of
  section 303, no civil action shall be brought for any act or omission
  described in section 302 which occurs--
        (1) during the first 6 months after the effective date,  against
      businesses that employ 25 or fewer employees and have gross receipts of
      $1,000,000 or less; and
        (2) during the first year after the effective date, against businesses
      that employ 10 or fewer employees and have gross receipts of $500,000 or

      relay services' means telephone transmission services that provide the
      ability for an individual who has a hearing impairment or speech
      impairment to engage in communication by wire or radio with a hearing
      individual in a manner that is functionally equivalent to the ability of
      an individual who does not have a hearing impairment or speech impairment
      to communicate using voice communication services by wire or radio. Such
      term includes services that enable two-way communication between an
      individual who uses a TDD or other nonvoice terminal device and an

    "(b) Availability of Telecommunications Relay Services.--
        "(1) In general.--In order to carry out the purposes established under
      section 1, to make available to all individuals in the United States a

      authority, power, and functions with respect to common carriers engaged
      in intrastate communication as the Commission has in administering and
      enforcing the provisions of this title with respect to any common carrier
      engaged in interstate communication. Any violation of this section by any
      common carrier engaged in intrastate communication shall be subject to
      the same remedies, penalties, and procedures as are applicable to a
      violation of this Act by a common carrier engaged in interstate
      communication.
    "(c) Provision of Services.--Each common carrier providing telephone voice
  transmission services shall, not later than 3 years after the date of

  prescribed under this section, throughout the area in which it offers
  service, telecommunications relay services, individually, through designees,
  through a competitively selected vendor, or in concert with other carriers. A
  common carrier shall be considered to be in compliance with such
  regulations--
        "(1) with respect to intrastate telecommunications relay services in
      any State that does not have a certified program under subsection (f) and
      with respect to interstate telecommunications relay services, if such
      common carrier (or other entity through which the carrier is providing
      such relay services) is in compliance with the Commission's regulations
      under subsection (d); or
        "(2) with respect to intrastate telecommunications relay services in
      any State that has a certified program under subsection (f) for such
      State, if such common carrier (or other entity through which the carrier
      is providing such relay services) is in compliance with the program
      certified under subsection (f) for such State.
    "(d) Regulations.--
        "(1) In general.--The Commission shall, not later than 1 year after the

          procedures for telecommunications relay services;
            "(B) establish minimum standards that shall be met in carrying out
          subsection (c);
            "(C) require that telecommunications relay services operate every
          day for 24 hours per day;
            "(D) require that users of telecommunications relay services pay
          rates no greater than the rates paid for functionally equivalent
          voice communication services with respect to such factors as the
          duration of the call, the time of day, and the distance from point of
          origination to point of termination;
            "(E) prohibit relay operators from failing to fulfill the
          obligations of common carriers by refusing calls or limiting the
          length of calls that use telecommunications relay services;
            "(F) prohibit relay operators from disclosing the content of any
          relayed conversation and from keeping records of the content of any
          such conversation beyond the duration of the call; and
            "(G) prohibit relay operators from intentionally altering a relayed
          conversation.
        "(2) Technology.--The Commission shall ensure that regulations
      prescribed to implement this section encourage, consistent with section
      7(a) of this Act, the use of existing technology and do not discourage or
      impair the development of improved technology.
        "(3) Jurisdictional separation of costs.--
            "(A) In general.--Consistent with the provisions of section 410 of
          this Act, the Commission shall prescribe regulations governing the
          jurisdictional separation of costs for the services provided pursuant
          to this section.
            "(B) Recovering costs.--Such regulations shall generally provide
          that costs caused by interstate telecommunications relay services
          shall be recovered from all subscribers for every interstate service
          and costs caused by intrastate telecommunications relay services
          shall be recovered from the intrastate jurisdiction. In a State that
          has a certified program under subsection (f), a State commission
          shall permit a common carrier to recover the costs incurred in
          providing intrastate telecommunications relay services by a method
          consistent with the requirements of this section.
    "(e) Enforcement.--
        "(1) In general.--Subject to subsections (f) and (g), the Commission
      shall enforce this section.
        "(2) Complaint.--The Commission shall resolve, by final order, a
      complaint alleging a violation of this section within 180 days after the
      date such complaint is filed.
    "(f) Certification.--
        "(1) State documentation.--Any State desiring to establish a State
      program under this section shall submit documentation to the Commission
      that describes the program of such State for implementing intrastate
      telecommunications relay services and the procedures and remedies
      available for enforcing any requirements imposed by the State program.
        "(2) Requirements for certification.--After review of such
      documentation, the Commission shall certify the State program if the
      Commission determines that--
            "(A) the program makes available to hearing-impaired and speech-
          impaired individuals, either directly, through designees, through a
          competitively selected vendor, or through regulation of intrastate
          common carriers, intrastate telecommunications relay services in such
          State in a manner that meets or exceeds the requirements of
          regulations prescribed by the Commission under subsection (d); and
            "(B) the program makes available adequate procedures and remedies
          for enforcing the requirements of the State program.
        "(3) Method of funding.--Except as provided in subsection (d), the
      Commission shall not refuse to certify a State program based solely on
      the method such State will implement for funding intrastate
      telecommunication relay services.
        "(4) Suspension or revocation of certification.--The Commission may
      suspend or revoke such certification if, after notice and opportunity for
      hearing, the Commission determines that such certification is no longer
      warranted. In a State whose program has been suspended or revoked, the
      Commission shall take such steps as may be necessary, consistent with
      this section, to ensure continuity of telecommunications relay services.
    "(g) Complaint.--
        "(1) Referral of complaint.--If a complaint to the Commission alleges a
      violation of this section with respect to intrastate telecommunications
      relay services within a State and certification of the program of such
      State under subsection (f) is in effect, the Commission shall refer such
      complaint to such State.
        "(2) Jurisdiction of commission.--After referring a complaint to a
      State under paragraph (1), the Commission shall exercise jurisdiction
      over such complaint only if--
            "(A) final action under such State program has not been taken on
          such complaint by such State--
                "(i) within 180 days after the complaint is filed with such
              State; or
                "(ii) within a shorter period as prescribed by the regulations
              of such State; or
            "(B) the Commission determines that such State program is no longer
          qualified for certification under subsection (f).".
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--The Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151
  et seq.) is amended--
        (1) in section 2(b) (47 U.S.C. 152(b)), by striking "section 224" and
      inserting "sections 224 and 225"; and
        (2) in section 221(b) (47 U.S.C. 221(b)), by striking "section 301" and
      inserting "sections 225 and 301".

  SEC. 402. CLOSED-CAPTIONING OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

  include closed captioning of the verbal content of such announcement. A
  television broadcast station licensee--
        "(1) shall not be required to supply closed captioning for any such
      announcement that fails to include it; and
        "(2) shall not be liable for broadcasting any such announcement without
      transmitting a closed caption unless the licensee intentionally fails to
      transmit the closed caption that was included with the announcement.".

    "(iii) Notwithstanding clause (i), for purposes of programs and activities
  providing health services and services provided under titles I, II and III,

  services, local educational agencies may take disciplinary action pertaining
  to the use or possession of illegal drugs or alcohol against any handicapped
  student who currently is engaging in the illegal use of drugs or in the use
  of alcohol to the same extent that such disciplinary action is taken against
  nonhandicapped students. Furthermore, the due process procedures at 34 CFR
  104.36 shall not apply to such disciplinary actions.
    "(v) For purposes of sections 503 and 504 as such sections relate to
  employment, the term 'individual with handicaps' does not include any
