U.S.C.A. 12202 PROVIDING TO-WIT:
"A STATE SHALL NOT BE IMMUNE UNDER THE ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES FROM AN ACTION IN FEDERAL OR STATE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS ACT. IN ANY ACTION AGAINST A STATE FOR A VIOLATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ACT, 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."
THEREFORE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT IS WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF CONGRESSIONAL POWER TO DIRECT THAT THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA HALL CONFORM TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990. IT IS FURTHER MY OPINION, BASED UPON THE FOREGOING LEGAL ANALYSIS, THAT ANY LITIGATION BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD BE UNSUCCESSFUL.
