(b) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the
barring of any person, because of the sex of such person, from places of
public accommodation, resort or amusement if the division grants an
exemption based on bona fide considerations of public policy; nor shall
this subdivision apply to the rental of rooms in a housing accommodation
which restricts such rental to individuals of one sex.

(c) For the purposes of paragraph (a) of this subdivision,
"discriminatory practice" includes:

(i) a refusal to make reasonable modifications in policies, practices,
or procedures, when such modifications are necessary to afford
facilities, privileges, advantages or accommodations to individuals with
disabilities, unless such person can demonstrate that making such
modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of such facilities,
privileges, advantages or accommodations;

(ii) a refusal to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that
no individual with a disability is excluded or denied services because
of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless such person can
demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature
of the facility, privilege, advantage or accommodation being offered or
would result in an undue burden;

(iii) a refusal to remove architectural barriers, and communication
barriers that are structural in nature, in existing facilities, and
transportation barriers in existing vehicles and rail passenger cars
used by an establishment for transporting individuals (not including
barriers that can only be removed through the retrofitting of vehicles
or rail passenger cars by the installation of a hydraulic or other
lift), where such removal is readily achievable;
