A newly licensed Georgia agent asks her broker whether Georgia's state fair housing law provides broader protected-class coverage than federal law. Which statement accurately describes the relationship between Georgia's state fair housing protected classes and the federal Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

C) Georgia's state fair housing protected classes mirror the federal baseline: 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 establishes protected classes that align with the seven federal Fair Housing Act categories: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status. The Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (GCEO) enforces these state protections. While some local jurisdictions may adopt additional protections, the statewide baseline matches the federal framework.

Answer Options
A
Georgia statewide fair housing law automatically adds sexual orientation and source of income as protected classes beyond the federal baseline
B
Georgia's protected classes are determined locally by each county commission and vary significantly across the state
C
Georgia's state fair housing protected classes mirror the federal baseline: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status
D
Georgia's adoption of a state fair housing law preempts federal Fair Housing Act enforcement within the state
