The Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act provides several key protections to individuals in Michigan, including:
- Employment discrimination: The act prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants based on protected characteristics, such as race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, height, weight, familial status, or marital status. It covers various employment practices, including hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, and terms and conditions of employment.
- Housing discrimination: The act prohibits landlords, real estate agents, and other housing providers from discriminating against individuals seeking housing based on protected characteristics. It covers rental, sale, financing, and other housing-related transactions, as well as advertising, occupancy standards, and reasonable accommodation requests.
- Public accommodations: The act prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation, such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, retail stores, and other establishments open to the public. It ensures equal access to goods, services, facilities, and accommodations without regard to protected characteristics.
