A little over a month away.

On November 21, 2009, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of
2008 which was signed into law on May 21, 2008, will go into effect. This Act
is intended to prevent employers from discriminating against individuals
based on genetic tests and information. It affects all private employers with 15 or more employees, certain public sector employers, employment agencies and labor organizations. I'll keep you posted with more information. Just wanted to be sure you had a heads up.
