Statement from Equality Florida CEO, Nadine Smith:
“Today five Senators killed a bill that would have provided basic protections for Floridians regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
(Tallahassee) - This afternoon the Senate Judiciary Committee discussed the Florida Competitive Workforce Act (SB 120), a bill that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to existing state nondiscrimination laws.
Mayor Lenny Curry has announced an Executive Order that prohibits discrimination in the City of Jacksonville based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. The order will cover employment by the city and will require contractors to also have policies in place.
