Protection from Discrimination GOVT 2305, Module 5

Civil Rights Act Federal laws protect individuals from discrimination by private parties. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on race, religion, color, sex, or national origin in hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other public accommodations, and in employment.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law intended to end discrimination against disabled persons and eliminate barriers to their full participation in American society.

Genetic Information Discrimination The Genetic Information Identity Act of 2008 makes it illegal to discriminate against employees or applicants because of genetic information.

Other equal rights provisions Other federal legislation prohibits age discrimination and protects families with children from housing discrimination. Some states (but not Texas) and some local governments (but not Houston) prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
