Wash. Admin. Code § 162-22-035

Current through Register Vol. 24-08, April 15, 2024
Section 162-22-035 - Preference for disabled is not an unfair practice

The law protects against discrimination because of the presence of any disability or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability. Discrimination in favor of a person because of the person's disability is not an unfair practice. This is different from the operation of the statutes in all other areas, except for age discrimination. For example, it is an unfair practice for an employer to discriminate either for or against persons of any race or either sex.
