A quick follow-up: The earlier housing/employment LGBT antidiscrimination bill to which Doug linked (SB 100) was filed the same day as a public accommodations LGBT antidiscrimination bill (SB 99). They were both filed January 29, 2015, before the LDS Church's announcement that it would support a LGBT Rights/Religious Liberty compromise.
The new compromise bill (SB 296) introduced today adds LGBT protections to Utah's housing and employment laws, but not its public accommodations law (Utah Code 13-7-3). So it would appear to leave untouched the status quo in Utah concerning the baker/florist/wedding-venue conflicts (couples denied service would not have a state law claim, but might have a claim under a local ordinance). Apologies in advance if my quick read is off base. - Jim P.S. Here are the three bills: SB 99 (original public accommodations bill) http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/SB0099.html SB 100 (original housing and employment bill) http://www.le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/SB0100.html SB 296 (compromise housing, employment, and religious liberty bill) http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/SB0296.html <http://ssrn.com/author=357864> On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 1:36 PM, Doug Laycock <dlayc...@virginia.edu> wrote: > Delete my e-mail.
