It is the intent of the
1legislature in promulgating this subchapter to encourage employers to evaluate an 2employee or applicant for employment based upon the individual qualifications of 3the employee or applicant rather than upon a particular class to which the 4individual may belong. AB50-ASA2-AA7,132,166111.31 (3) In the interpretation and application of this subchapter, and 7otherwise, it is declared to be the public policy of the state to encourage and foster to 8the fullest extent practicable the employment of all properly qualified individuals 9regardless of age, race, creed, color, disability, marital status, sex, national origin, 10ancestry, sexual orientation, arrest record, conviction record, military service, 11status as a holder or nonholder of a license under s. 343.03 (3r), use or nonuse of 12lawful products off the employer’s premises during nonworking hours, or declining 13to attend a meeting or to participate in any communication about religious matters 14or political matters.
