HB 1858 -- Human Rights

Sponsor:  Emery

This bill revises the definition of "discrimination" to an
adverse action motivated by race, color, religion, national
origin, ancestry, sex, or age as it relates to employment and
disability or familial status as it relates to housing.  The bill
also removes any person directly acting in the interest of an
employer from the definition of "employer."

Courts cannot award punitive damages to state governmental
agencies or corporations, including public school districts and
political subdivisions.
