Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 1776 -- Human Rights

Sponsor:  Talboy

This bill defines "sexual orientation" and prohibits
discrimination based upon a person's sexual orientation.

The bill also clarifies that discrimination includes cases where
unfair treatment results from the guilty party's mere assumptions
regarding the victim's race, color, religion, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation, ancestry, or age as it relates to
employment or disability or familial status as it relates to
housing whether or not those assumptions are correct.
