Bill > HB36

This bill aims to align Delaware's non-discrimination laws across multiple titles of the state code by adding a reference to broader non-discrimination protections in various existing statutes. Specifically, the bill amends numerous sections of Delaware law to include language that prohibits discrimination on any basis protected under the applicable broad non-discrimination law, such as Chapter 45 of Title 6 or Chapter 7 of Title 19. These amendments cover a wide range of areas including transportation network companies, public accommodations, housing, county positions, jury service, professional licensing, fair housing, public employment, and public works contracts. The key change is the addition of a catch-all phrase that incorporates all current and future protected classes from the broader anti-discrimination laws, ensuring that specific statutes are consistently aligned with the state's comprehensive non-discrimination standards. This approach provides more comprehensive protection against discrimination by referencing the broader legal frameworks that define protected characteristics and prohibited discriminatory actions.
