Anti-Discrimination Law: A Primer for Small Businesses	0.75	There are multiple federal laws regarding discrimination in the workplace. Beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the U.S. Congress has passed a number of laws to address various forms of discrimination. The Fair Housing Act of 1968, for example, prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap (later called disability), and family status. In 1990, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to protect the rights of individuals who are differently enabled, physically or mentally. Other laws, or amendments made to existing laws, provided further protections for people with disabilities, workers over the age of 40, and LGBTQ+ individuals, among others.
