Under current law, protected classes include age, race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, and familial status. The Iowa civil rights Act prohibits discrimination in employment, wages, public accommodations, housing, education, and credit practices based upon certain characteristics of a person. A person who claims to be aggrieved by an unfair or discriminatory practice prohibited by the Iowa civil rights Act may file a complaint with the Iowa civil rights commission.
