Arizona Civil Rights Act: Rights, Responsibilities, and Process
Original Program Date :
The Arizona Civil Rights Division (Division), a section of the Office of the Arizona Attorney General, enforces the Arizona Civil Rights Act (ACRA). The ACRA protects Arizonans from unlawful discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodations (including disability), voting, and housing discrimination. The Division mediates, investigates, conciliates, and litigates alleged violations of the ACRA.
Join us for an interactive discussion regarding the ACRA, current case law, the administrative investigatory process, and current case trends. Learn about the partnership between the EEOC and the ACRD and what happens when a matter alleging employment discrimination is filed with both agencies.
