Explanation
The Idaho Human Rights Act (Idaho Code §67-5909) prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status — mirroring the federal FHA protected classes. The Idaho Human Rights Commission enforces the state law. Idaho's protections are not currently broader than the federal FHA in the housing context.
