ND Again Mulls Bill Banning Sexual Discrimination

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota House is considering legislation that would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing, government, public services and the workplace.

Testimony is being taken on the bill Monday.

The Senate passed the bill last month despite the fact that it received a do-not-pass recommendation in committee.

Exemptions for religious organizations and social clubs are in the bill.

Similar legislation failed during the 2009 and 2013 sessions.
