Virginia has enacted legislation (House Bill 18), which adds ethnic origin as a protected characteristic under the Virginia Human Rights Act (VHRA). House Bill 18 takes effect on July 1, 2024.

The details

The VHRA prohibits all Virginia employers from discriminating in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or military status.

House Bill 18 adds ethnic origin to the VHRA’s list of protected characteristics.

Next steps

Review equal employment opportunity policies and procedures and train supervisors to ensure compliance with House Bill 18 by July 1, 2024.
