Sec. 7. As used in this chapter, “discriminate” includes the following:
(1) Limiting, segregating, or classifying a job applicant or an employee in a way that adversely affects the opportunities or status of the applicant or employee because of the disability of the applicant or employee.
(2) Participating in a contractual or other arrangement or relationship that has the effect of subjecting a covered entity's qualified applicant or employee with a disability to the discrimination prohibited by this chapter. Such relationship includes a relationship with:
(A) an employment or a referral agency;
(B) a labor union;
(C) an organization providing fringe benefits to an employee of the covered entity; or
(D) an organization providing training and apprenticeship programs.
(3) Utilizing standards, criteria, or methods of administration:
(A) that have the effect of discrimination on the basis of disability; or
(B) that perpetuate the discrimination of others who are subject to common administrative control.
(4) Excluding or otherwise denying equal jobs or benefits to a qualified individual because of the known disability of an individual with whom the qualified individual is known to have a relationship or an association.
(5) Not making reasonable accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability who is an applicant or employee unless the covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the business of the covered entity.
(6) Denying employment opportunities to a job applicant or an employee who is an otherwise qualified individual with a disability if that denial is based on the need of the covered entity to make reasonable accommodation to the physical or mental impairments of the employee or applicant.
(7) Using qualification standards, employment tests, or other selection criteria that screen out or tend to screen out an individual with a disability or a class of individuals with disabilities unless the standard, test, or other selection criteria, as used by the covered entity, is shown to be job related for the position in question and is consistent with business necessity.
(8) Failing to select and administer tests concerning employment in the most effective manner to ensure that when the test is administered to a job applicant or an employee who has a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the test results accurately reflect the skills, aptitude, or other factor of the applicant or employee that the test purports to measure, rather than reflecting the impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills of the employee or applicant, except where those skills are the factors that the test purports to measure.
