The Department of Human Rights investigates charges of discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, public services, education, credit, and business contracts. It is illegal to discriminate against someone because of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, receipt of public assistance, age, or family status. It is also illegal to aid in a violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act or to coerce a person to violate it, obstruct compliance with the Act, or interfere with the department’s performance of its duties. The Act also prohibits reprisal or retaliation because a person opposed a practice forbidden by the Act, filed a charge or participated in a matter brought under the Act, or because a person associated with a person or group of persons who are disabled or of a different race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin.
