Summary

An employer may not fail or refuse to hire, discharge or otherwise discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment because of the individual's refusal to submit to a genetic test or refusal to provide the results of a genetic test, or based on the receipt of a genetic test or genetic counseling, except when based on a bona fide occupational qualification. The Maine Human Rights Commission has authority to enforce this provision.
