flag Luzerne County is renewing efforts to pass a broad anti-discrimination law covering housing, jobs, and public spaces, modeled on Lehigh County’s law.

flag Luzerne County council members are reviving efforts to pass a countywide anti-discrimination ordinance, expanding protections in housing, employment, education, and public spaces beyond state laws. flag Modeled after Lehigh County’s law, the proposed measure would create a human relations commission to handle complaints and ensure compliance. flag The draft, led by Councilwoman Joanna Bryn Smith, is under legal review with no set date for council discussion. flag Support is broad across party lines, though past attempts in 2016 failed due to concerns over authority and new oversight bodies. flag The goal is to establish a formal process for addressing discrimination and provide broader safeguards for residents.
