Under Tucson’s Human Relations Ordinance (Tucson City Code, Chapter 17), it is unlawful for an employer with 1-100 employees; an owner, operator, lessee, manager, agent, or employee of a public accommodation; or a housing provider to discriminate against an individual based on:
| Race | Color |
| Religion | National Origin |
| Ancestry | Disability |
| Age (40+) | Sex |
| Sexual Orientation | Gender Identity |
| Familial Status | Marital Status |
An employer cannot refuse to hire, discharge, or discriminate (in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment) based on these protected characteristics. The law also prohibits an employer from discriminating or retaliating against an employee who files a complaint about discrimination, or an employee who participates in an investigation by testifying, assisting, or participating in the matter of investigation.
