Utah's fair housing laws protect which additional class NOT covered by federal fair housing law?

Correct Answer

C) Sexual orientation and gender identity

Utah's Fair Housing Act (Utah Code §57-21) was amended in 2015 via SB 296 to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in housing. Federal fair housing law does not explicitly include sexual orientation or gender identity as protected classes (though HUD has interpreted the federal Act to cover them in some contexts). This makes Utah's explicit statutory protection a notable state-specific addition. Source of income and political affiliation are not statewide protected classes under Utah Code §57-21.

Marital status
