Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this chapter. In any action against a State for a violation of the requirements of this chapter, remedies (including remedies both at law and in equity) are available for such a violation to the same extent as such remedies are available for such a violation in an action against any public or private entity other than a State. (Pub. L. 101–336, title V, § 502, July 26, 1990, 104 Stat. 370.) Editorial Notes References in TextThis chapter, referred to in text, was in the original “this Act”, meaning Pub.
