The Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act is a state law enacted in 1976 that prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and public services based on certain protected characteristics. Named after former state representatives Daisy Elliott and Melvin Larsen, the act was Michigan's response to the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Elliott-Larsen Act reflects Michigan's commitment to promoting equal opportunity and preventing discrimination in various aspects of public life. It serves as a cornerstone of Michigan's civil rights laws, aiming to ensure fairness, equity, and dignity for all residents of the state.
