Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act bars employers from using an individual's genetic information when making employment decisions.

• A. Rehabilitation Act
• B. Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
• C. Americans with Disabilities Act
• D. Architectural Barriers Act

Answer: (B)

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act protects genetic information from being used in employment decisions. It bars employers from requesting, requiring, or purchasing genetic information and from using that information in hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, or other terms and conditions of employment. It also limits how genetic information can be disclosed. This is different from other laws: the Rehabilitation Act protects disability rights in federally funded programs and federal employment; the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits disability-based employment discrimination and requires accommodations; the Architectural Barriers Act focuses on accessibility of federally owned buildings. So the statement correctly identifies GINA as the law governing the use of genetic information in employment decisions.
