What does the amendment allow me to do if I believe I have been discriminated against?
If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, the amendment allows you or your attorney to complete the City’s complaint form and submit it to the City’s investigator. A parent or legal guardian may file on behalf of a minor.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of race, sex, familial status, military status, disability, religion, age, color, national origin or ancestry, you or your attorney can contact the EEOC or the Kansas Human Rights Commission.
