Introduced
by
To add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” to the characteristics that define membership in a protected class, against which it is a crime to discriminate under the state’s Elliott-Larsen civil rights law. This would make it a crime to deny employment, housing, use of public accommodations, public services, and educational facilities to another person on the basis of an individual’s assertion of a particular sexual orientation or gender identity.
