Public Accommodations Law

Public Accommodations Law, part of Civil Rights Law, prohibits discrimination in places that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, and stores. It ensures that people cannot be denied service based on characteristics like race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The goal is to promote equality and prevent exclusion in everyday public spaces. This law allows individuals to seek legal recourse if they are treated unfairly in these establishments, aiming to foster an inclusive environment for all members of society.
