Sec. 8.12  Employment criteria.

    (a) A recipient may not use any employment test or other selection 
criterion that screens out or tends to screen out individuals with 
handicaps or any class of individuals with handicaps unless:
    (1) The recipient demonstrates that the test score or other 
selection criterion, as used by the recipient, is job-related for the 
position in question; and
    (2) The appropriate HUD official demonstrates that alternative job-
related tests or criteria that tend to screen out fewer individuals with 
handicaps are unavailable.
    (b) A recipient shall select and administer tests concerning 
employment to ensure that, when administered to an applicant or employee 
who has a handicap that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the 
test results accurately reflect the applicant's or employee's job 
skills, aptitude, or whatever other factor the test purports to measure, 
rather than the applicant's or employee's impaired sensory, manual, or 
speaking skills (except where those skills are the factors that the test 
purports to measure).
