A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States from suit in Federal court for a violation of this Act. A State’s receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any program or activity of a State shall constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity, under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution or otherwise, to a suit brought by an aggrieved individual for a violation of section 4 of this Act. In a suit against a State for a violation 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 the suit against any public or private entity other than a State.
