What’s in it

This bill relates to gender under Code chapter 216, the Iowa civil rights Act. Under current law, Code chapter 216 prohibits discrimination in employment, wages, public accommodations, housing, education, and credit practices based upon certain characteristics of a person, including sex and gender identity. A person who claims to be aggrieved by an unfair or discriminatory practice prohibited by Code chapter 216 may file a complaint with the Iowa civil rights commission. Code chapter 216 defines “gender identity” as the gender-related identity of a person, regardless of the person’s assigned sex at birth. For purposes of Code chapter 216, the bill removes gender identity as a protected class and defines “sex” to mean a person’s biological sex as either male or female.
