to participate in and benefit from the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages,
and accommodations of the entity if the person with a disability poses a direct threat
to the health or safety of others. "Direct threat" means a significant risk to the
health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by a modification of policies,
practices, or procedures or by the provision of auxiliary aids or services. Nothing
in this section shall be interpreted or applied so as to create any power or duty
in conflict with federal or state law.

impose an undue hardship, the factors to be considered include:

a.

The type and purpose of the public service's operation;

b.

The nature and cost of the needed accommodation;
