§ 86-36. Exclusion based on disability.

Nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibit a parading carnival krewe or other parading organization from excluding a person with a disability from riding on a float in a parade; provided, that an organization not exempt under the provisions of section 86-35(b) may exclude such a person only if the director certifies in writing, after consultation with the officers of the organization, with the excluded person, and with the director of health, that permitting the person with a disability so to ride would create a public safety or health hazard or would cause an unreasonable burden of expense to the parading krewe or other organization. Any legitimate increase in the cost of procuring insurance may be considered when determining the reasonableness of proposed discrimination. This section shall not authorize the exclusion of any person from the other benefits of membership or participation in such a krewe or organization not exempt under the provision of section 86-39(b), on the basis of disability.
