discrimination on the basis of disability by a public entity may, by
himself or herself or by an authorized representative, file a
complaint. The Department of Justice must address the complaint or
refer the complaint to the appropriate Federal agency. Any Federal
agency that receives a complaint of discrimination on the basis of
disability by a public entity must review the complaint to determine
whether it has jurisdiction under Section 504. If the agency does not
have jurisdiction under Section 504, it must determine whether it is
the designated agency responsible for complaints filed against that
public entity under title II of the ADA. If the agency does not have
jurisdiction under section 504 and is not the designated agency under
title II of the ADA, it must refer the complaint to the Department of
Justice.
