Bill Summary
An Act to Update the Maine Human Rights Act with Respect to Gender Identity
AI Summary
This bill updates the Maine Human Rights Act by amending the definition of "sexual orientation" to include a person's actual or perceived heterosexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality, and removing the previous inclusion of gender identity or expression. The change aims to explicitly define sexual orientation separately from gender identity, reflecting an intent to address discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as distinct characteristics.
