34 tions or privileges of employment.
35 (b) For an employment agency to discriminate against any individual
36 because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or
37 immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
38 military status, sex, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics,
39 familial status, marital status, wage history, medical history, health
40 conditions, or status as a victim of domestic violence, in receiving,
41 classifying, disposing or otherwise acting upon applications for its
42 services or in referring an applicant or applicants to an employer or
43 employers.
44 (c) For a labor organization, because of the age, race, creed, color,
45 national origin, citizenship or immigration status, sexual orientation,
46 gender identity or expression, military status, sex, disability, predis-
47 posing genetic characteristics, familial status, marital status, wage

52 employer.
53 (d) For any employer or employment agency to print or circulate or

1 directly or indirectly, any limitation, specification or discrimination
2 as to age, race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immi-
3 gration status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, mili-
4 tary status, sex, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics,
5 familial status, marital status, wage history, medical history, health
6 conditions, or status as a victim of domestic violence, or any intent to
7 make any such limitation, specification or discrimination, unless based
8 upon a bona fide occupational qualification; provided, however, that
9 neither this paragraph nor any provision of this chapter or other law
10 shall be construed to prohibit the department of civil service or the
11 department of personnel of any city containing more than one county from
12 requesting information from applicants for civil service examinations
13 concerning any of the aforementioned characteristics, other than sexual
14 orientation, for the purpose of conducting studies to identify and
15 resolve possible problems in recruitment and testing of members of

17 for employment in the civil service for all persons, regardless of age,
18 race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status,
19 sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, military status,
20 sex, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, familial status,
21 or marital status.

28 violence, wage history, medical history, health conditions, or because
29 the individual has opposed any practices forbidden under this article or
30 because the individual has filed a complaint, testified or assisted in
31 any proceeding under this article, regardless of whether such harassment
32 would be considered severe or pervasive under precedent applied to
33 harassment claims. Such harassment is an unlawful discriminatory prac-
34 tice when it subjects an individual to inferior terms, conditions or
35 privileges of employment because of the individual's membership in one
36 or more of these protected categories. The fact that such individual did
37 not make a complaint about the harassment to such employer, licensing
38 agency, employment agency or labor organization shall not be determina-
39 tive of whether such employer, licensing agency, employment agency or
40 labor organization shall be liable. Nothing in this section shall imply
41 that an employee must demonstrate the existence of an individual to whom
42 the employee's treatment must be compared. It shall be an affirmative
43 defense to liability under this subdivision that the harassing conduct
44 does not rise above the level of what a reasonable victim of discrimi-
45 nation with the same protected characteristic or characteristics would
46 consider petty slights or trivial inconveniences.
47 (b) To deny to or withhold from any person because of race, creed,
48 color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, sexual orien-

51 health conditions, or status as a victim of domestic violence, the right
52 to be admitted to or participate in a guidance program, an apprentice-
53 ship training program, on-the-job training program, executive training
54 program, or other occupational training or retraining program;
55 (c) To discriminate against any person in [his or her] such person's
56 pursuit of such programs or to discriminate against such a person in the
A. 8532 4
1 terms, conditions or privileges of such programs because of race, creed,
2 color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, sexual orien-
3 tation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, age, disa-
4 bility, familial status, marital status, wage history, medical history,
5 health conditions, or status as a victim of domestic violence;
6 (d) To print or circulate or cause to be printed or circulated any
7 statement, advertisement or publication, or to use any form of applica-
8 tion for such programs or to make any inquiry in connection with such
9 program which expresses, directly or indirectly, any limitation, spec-
10 ification or discrimination as to race, creed, color, national origin,
11 citizenship or immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity
12 or expression, military status, sex, age, disability, familial status,
13 marital status, wage history, medical history, health conditions, or
14 status as a victim of domestic violence, or any intention to make any
15 such limitation, specification or discrimination, unless based on a bona
16 fide occupational qualification.
17 (a) It shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for any person,
18 being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or
19 employee of any place of public accommodation, resort or amusement,
20 because of the race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immi-
21 gration status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, mili-
22 tary status, sex, disability, marital status, wage history, medical
23 history, health conditions, or status as a victim of domestic violence,
24 of any person, directly or indirectly, to refuse, withhold from or deny
25 to such person any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or
26 privileges thereof, including the extension of credit, or, directly or
27 indirectly, to publish, circulate, issue, display, post or mail any
28 written or printed communication, notice or advertisement, to the effect
29 that any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of
30 any such place shall be refused, withheld from or denied to any person
31 on account of race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immi-
32 gration status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, mili-
33 tary status, sex, disability, wage history, medical history, health
34 conditions or marital status, or that the patronage or custom thereat of
35 any person of or purporting to be of any particular race, creed, color,
36 national origin, citizenship or immigration status, sexual orientation,
37 gender identity or expression, military status, sex or marital status,
38 or having a disability is unwelcome, objectionable or not acceptable,
39 desired or solicited.
40 (a) It shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for any fire
41 department or fire company therein, through any member or members there-
42 of, officers, board of fire commissioners or other body or office having
43 power of appointment of volunteer firefighters, directly or indirectly,
