SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Employers would no longer be allowed to discriminate against military veterans under a bill the Senate has approved.
Veterans would be added to a list of protected groups in the state's nondiscrimination act under Senate Bill 166.
Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, national origin and religion is already illegal.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Scott McCoy, a Democrat from Salt Lake City.
It passed in the Senate 27-0 and will now be heard in the House.
