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.
