discrimination (based on race, religion, color, sex, disability, ancestry,
national origin, age in the area of employment only, familial status in the area
of housing only, and retaliation) may file with the KHRC.
Genetic screening and testing in the area of employment is prohibited.
Employment and public accommodation complaints must be filed within 6 months
