Protected classes are still protected during a pandemic

Disability Rights Arkansas

There exists some confusion as to whether a business has the right to deny anyone they choose entry into their business. In fact, a business cannot exclude ANYONE from their business “for any reason.” It is illegal for a business to exclude people for their race, gender, age, disability, etc. These are termed protected classes because the law explicitly protects them from discrimination. Protected classes are STILL protected during a pandemic.

Here’s what the law says: https://disabilityrightsar.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Right-to-freedom-from-discrimination.pdf

We’re always here to answer your questions! Call us at 800-482-1174 or visit us at disabilityrightsAR.org.
