There are also Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Acts (BGG) at the state level. Every federal state has its own regional BGG. They are structurally and in terms of content based on the Federal BGG.

Examples for the national BGGs are the Bavarian Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (BayBGG), the Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities of Hamburg (HmbBGG), the Act on Equal Opportunities of Persons with Disabilities of North Rhine Westphalia (BGG NRW) as well as the Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (LBGG M-V).

All mentioned BGGs include the possibility of bringing an association action. Authorized associations are associations that are acknowledged by the Federal BGG and their associations on the federal state level. A public authority must violate the ban on discrimination, the equality requirement or the obligation to achieve accessibility in order for the association to be able to sue.

The association actions are regulated in § 17 BayBGG, § 13 HmbBGG, § 6 BGG NRW, § 15 LBGG M-V.
