The Age of Legal Advocacy for Diabetes
From Thunderstone: Search: workplace ADA :
DOJ investigated complaints it had received that Clear Channel Entertainment refused to allow individuals with diabetes to keep their diabetic supplies with them inside the concert venue. 7. As a result of this investigation, DOJ concluded that Clear Channel Entertainment's policy on access of medication into venues dated April 3, 2000 (the "April 2000 Policy"), which prohibits patrons from taking any syringes or needles used for medical purposes, including needles used for insulin and lancets for testing blood, into the concert venue unless secured in a first aid room, discriminates against individuals with disabilities in violation of the ADA. DOJ also concluded that Clear Channel Entertainment's April 2000 Policy prohibiting diabetics from bringing food inside the venue unless secured in a first aid room violates the ADA.
