                        TITLE 45--PUBLIC WELFARE
 
     CHAPTER XI--NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES
 
PART 1151--NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF HANDICAP--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 1151.5  Inconsistent State laws and effect of employment opportunities.

    (a) Recipients are not excused from complying with this part as a 
result of state or local laws which limit the eligibility of handicapped 
persons to receive services or to practice a profession or occupation.
    (b) The presence of limited employment opportunities in a particular 
profession does not excuse a recipient from complying with the 
regulation. For example, a music school receiving Endowment financial 
assistance could not deny admission to a qualified blind applicant 
because a blind singer may experience more difficulty than a 
nonhandicapped singer in finding a job.
