House Bill 2454: Against Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation
Reps. Doyle, Brown, Fleischauer, Hutchins, Klempa, Marshall, Michael, Moore, Webster
This bill would make it illegal in many situations to extend equal opportunity to an individual on the basis of their “sexual orientation.” In this bill, sexual orientation is defined as “heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, or gender identity, whether actual or perceived.” Among other prohibitions, employers would not be allowed to refuse to hire an individual based upon their sexual orientation; this would now constitute illegal discrimination.
