Sec. 37.16  What is this part's effect on a recipient's obligations 
under other laws, and what limitations apply?

    (a) Effect of State or local law or other requirements. The 
obligation to comply with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity 
provisions of WIA or this part are not excused or reduced by any State 
or local law or other requirement that, on a prohibited ground, 
prohibits or limits an individual's eligibility to receive aid, 
benefits, services, or training; to participate in any WIA Title I--
financially assisted program or activity; to be employed by any 
recipient; or to practice any occupation or profession.
    (b) Effect of private organization rules. The obligation to comply 
with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIA and 
this part is not excused or reduced by any rule or regulation of any 
private organization, club, league or association that, on a prohibited 
ground, prohibits or limits an individual's eligibility to participate 
in any WIA Title I--financially assisted program or activity to which 
this part applies.
    (c) Effect of possible future exclusion from employment 
opportunities. A recipient must not exclude any individual from, or 
restrict any individual's participation in, any program or activity 
based on the recipient's belief or concern that the individual will 
encounter limited future employment opportunities because of his or her 
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political 
affiliation or belief, or citizenship.
