What’s in it

This bill creates two additional protected classes under the Iowa civil rights Act (Code chapter 216), political affiliation and medical or vaccination status. Current law does not prohibit discrimination in employment, wages, public accommodations, housing, education, and credit practices based on a person’s political affiliation or a person’s medical or vaccination status.
