The state Senate of North Dakota has passed legislation that will bar discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in matters of employment.
Senate Bill 2278 also applies to public accommodations, housing, state and local government services, insurance and credit transactions.
The legislation would add sexual orientation, which is defined in the bill to include gender identity, to the list of classes protected under North Dakota's existing anti-discrimination laws.
