An Act to Amend the Maine Human Rights Act Regarding Female Athletes and Safety in Women's Single-sex Shelters
132nd Legislature
This bill exempts from the definition of "place of public accommodation" in the Maine Human Rights Act privately owned and operated facilities that provide emergency shelter to women or temporary residence for women who are in reasonable fear of their safety.
The bill also amends the provisions in the Maine Human Rights Act governing unlawful educational discrimination to provide that they may not be construed to affect the rights of a female athlete under the federal laws known as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
