Relates to including the basis of religious attire and facial hair in the definition of unlawful discriminatory practice

Senate Bill S 491 expands the definition of unlawful discriminatory practice in public accommodations. It specifically includes the wearing of religious attire, clothing, or facial hair in accordance with a person's religion under the protected characteristic of "creed." This means that owners, managers, or employees of public places cannot refuse services or deny accommodations to individuals based on these religious practices.
