GINA Regulations Coming

The EEOC has proposed regulations implementing and interpreting the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). The draft covers definitions of terms used in the law, what constitutes discrimination, how to protect genetic information in employers' possession, and MORE!

The EEOC is inviting the public to comment on the proposed regulations. If you want to access through the EEOC's own website, it's not posted as of this writing. But it will appear here. As of now, you can view the document here.

Thanks to Ross Runkel for reporting this before it happened.
