There is an EEOC web page addressing this issue available here. A copy of the proposed regulations are available here and a copy of the GINA statue is available here.

Employers are now required to either (1) replace the previous workplace poster with the new one available here, or (2) or use the GINA Supplement to the existing workplace poster available here.

GINA makes substantial changes to the laws governing employee discrimination. The Ohio Employer’s Law blog recently wrote a post describing some aspects of GINA.
