2. Recognize any same-sex marriage legally entered into in a United States (U.S.) jurisdiction that recognizes their marriage, including one of the fifty (50) states, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory, or in a foreign county so long as that marriage would also be recognized by a U.S. jurisdiction. This applies regardless of whether or not the couple resides in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage. However, this does not apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions or similar formal relationships recognized under the law of the jurisdiction of celebration as something other than a marriage. Accordingly, recipients must review and revise, as needed, any policies and procedures which interpret or apply federal statutory or regulatory references to such terms as “marriage,” “spouse,” “family,” “household member” or similar references to familial relationships to reflect inclusion of same-sex spouse and marriages. Any similar familial terminology references in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) statutes, regulations, or policy transmittals will be interpreted to include same-sex spouses and marriages legally entered into as described herein. [USC 7 – Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act].
3. To ensure all data is collected for the unmet need as requested by the U.S. Legislature, Subrecipient must develop and implement a Wait List policy and procedure. The policy and procedure must include provisions for: prescreening individuals to determine eligibility; managing applicants’ placement on and removal from the Wait List; periodically reviewing the eligibility and identified needs of applicants on the Wait List; and assigning priority for enrollment based on Wait List.

The California Civil Rights Laws Certification ensures Subrecipient compliance with the Xxxxx Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 51) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Cal. Gov. Code § 12960), and ensures that Subrecipient internal policies are not used in violation of California Civil Rights Laws.
d. Subrecipient assures the OoA and State that is complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, as well as all applicable regulations and guidelines issued pursuant to the ADA. [42 USC 12101 et seq.]

In the event that the OoA and/or State determines that a conflict of interest exists, any increase in costs associated with the conflict of interest may be disallowed by the OoA and/or State and such conflict may constitute grounds for termination of the Contract.
b. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit employment of persons with whom the Subrecipient’s officers, agents, or employees have family, business, or other ties, so long as the employment of such persons does not result in a conflict of interest (real or apparent) or increased costs over those associated with the employment of any other equally qualified applicant, and such persons have successfully competed for employment with the other applicants on a merit basis.
6. Facility Construction or Repair This section applies only to Title III funds and not to other funds allocated to other Titles under the Older Americans Act. Title III funds may be used for facility construction or repair.
a. When applicable for purposes of construction or repair of facilities, the Subrecipient shall comply with the provisions contained in the following and shall include such provisions in any applicable agreements with Subcontractors: • Xxxxxxxx “Anti-Kickback” Act.
