The Florida Commission on Human Relations is the state agency charged with enforcing the state’s civil rights laws and serves as a resource on human relations for the people of Florida. It is against Florida law to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status or familial status. The commission investigates complaints of discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and state employee whistle-blower retaliation.
