Which statement most accurately describes the protected classes recognized under Georgia's statewide fair-housing law (O.C.G.A. Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 4)?

Correct Answer

B) Georgia's state fair-housing protected classes align with the federal baseline of race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status.

Under O.C.G.A. Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 4, Georgia's state fair-housing law recognizes the same protected classes as the federal Fair Housing Act: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status. The Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (GCEO) enforces these same baseline protections. The state legislature has not enacted statewide additions beyond this federal baseline, though some local jurisdictions (e.g., Atlanta) have adopted additional protections through local ordinances.

Answer Options
A
Georgia's statewide law expands beyond the federal Fair Housing Act by adding sexual orientation and source of income as protected classes.
B
Georgia's state fair-housing protected classes align with the federal baseline of race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status.
C
Georgia's statewide law protects only race, color, and national origin, leaving other classes to local ordinances.
D
Georgia's statewide law incorporates all classes recognized by any local municipality within the state, creating a uniform expanded list.
