| Description | Shortly after the Trump administration took office, the FCHR dropped its interpretation in an agreement with the EEOC and HUD. There is no state law in Florida that protects individuals on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Some localities offer local protections. There is a bathroom ban targeting public and state-funded colleges, public K-12 schools, state-funded domestic violence shelters, and state/local government buildings. The law states that trans people are held liable if in violation which carries a misdemeanor. |
