SECTION 48-A

Employment of persons with certain genetic disorders

Civil Rights (CVR) CHAPTER 6, ARTICLE 4-C

§ 48-a. Employment of persons with certain genetic disorders. Unless
it can be clearly shown that a person's unique genetic disorder would
prevent such person from performing the particular job, no person who is
otherwise qualified shall be denied equal opportunities to obtain and/or
maintain employment and/or to advance in position in his job solely
because said person has a unique genetic disorder regardless of whether
the employer or prospective employer is the state or any political
subdivision thereof or any other category of employer.
