§489-5 Other discriminatory practices.
(a) It is a discriminatory practice for two or more persons to conspire:
(1) To retaliate or discriminate against a person
because the person has opposed an unfair discriminatory practice;
(2) To aid, abet, incite, or coerce a person to
engage in a discriminatory practice; or
(3) Wilfully, to obstruct, or prevent, a person from
complying with this chapter.
(b) It is a discriminatory practice to deny a
person the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities,
privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodations
because of the known disability of an individual with whom the person is known
to have a relationship or association. [L 1986, c 292, pt of §1; am L 1994, c
88, §3]
Case Notes
Summary judgment granted in favor of defendants with respect
to a plaintiff's (a nonprofit corporation) claims under subsection (b);
plaintiffs offered nothing to indicate that one of the defendants was hostile
toward the disabled in general or those suffering with epilepsy in particular;
without the evidence, plaintiffs' claim that the defendant denied the nonprofit
corporation the full and equal enjoyment of a place of public accommodation
because of the nonprofit corporation's association with persons known to be
disabled was totally devoid of factual support. 300 F. Supp. 2d 1003.
