# 42 U.S.C. § 12202 - State immunity
## Text
A State shall not be immune under the eleventh amendment to the Constitution of the United States from an action in 11 So in original. Probably should be “in a”. 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. 101336, title V, § 502, July 26, 1990, 104 Stat. 370.)
