Adds to existing law to provide for uniformity in local government antidiscrimination ordinances.

COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS -- Adds to existing law to provide for uniformity in local government antidiscrimination ordinances.

COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

TheUniformityinLocalAntidiscriminationOrdinancesActwouldpreventlocalgovernmentalentities, suchas counties and cities, from enacting ordinances that impose some antidiscrimination requirements beyond what is required by state law. Idaho currently prohibits certain forms of discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin. This legislation would preempt burdensome local ordinances and bring these regulations into alignment with state law. Under the legislation, the Attorney General may seek injunctive relief against a local governmental entity that violates the provisions of the law. Businesses, property owners, and residents would also have standing to challenge antidiscrimination ordinances which exceed what state law allows.
