An Act to Add Political Affiliation as a Protected Class to the Maine Human Rights Act

This bill proposes to add "political affiliation" as a protected class under the Maine Human Rights Act. If passed, it would prevent discrimination based on an individual's political affiliation in areas such as employment, housing, education, credit, and public accommodations. This means employers, landlords, and other entities could not discriminate against individuals for belonging to or endorsing a political party or philosophy, with an exception for employers that are political parties themselves.
