Age Discrimination Act of 1975
- "N]o person in the United States shall, on the basis of age, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under, any program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance." Source
Privacy Act of 1975
- "The Privacy Act gives American citizens and aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residency a
greater say in the way records about them are kept and eliminates needless intrusions on personal privacy through the
keeping of extraneous records. The Privacy Act assures individuals on whom information is collected that:
there are not Federal government personal recordkeeping systems whose very existence are secret.
Federal personal information files are limited to those that are clearly necessary.
they will have an opportunity to see what information about them is maintained and to challenge its accuracy.
personal information collected for one purpose will not be used for another purpose without consent.
if disclosures are made, they will find out to whom they were made, for what purpose and on what date." source
Voting Rights Act ( revised)
- "Requires certain jurisdictions to provide bilingual language assistance to voters in communities
where there is a concentration of citizens who are limited English proficient." Source
