          Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)
         The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued final
         regulations  implementing  Title  II  of  the  Genetic  Information
         Nondiscrimination  Act  (GINA).  Title  II  generally  prohibits  employment
         discrimination based on genetic information, as well as collection, use
         and disclosure of genetic information in connection with employment.
         President Bush signed GINA into law in May 2008 and it is currently in
         effect. The EEOC’s new regulations are effective January 10, 2011, and
         employers  may  want  to  implement  some  compliance  measures  in
         response to the regulations.
