TITLE 17. CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT
CHAPTER 17-400. PAYMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT OF EMPLOYEE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF EXCLUSIONARY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS
§17-403. Prima Facie Presumption of Discrimination. [38]
The fact that an employer does pay or reimburse
membership fees or other expenses associated with participation by its employees
in an exclusionary private organization establishes prima facie that such
participation confers an employment advantage or constitutes or results in
discrimination in a term, privilege or condition of employment on the basis of
race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin or ancestry. The
employer shall have the opportunity of demonstrating to the Commission that such
an employment advantage or discrimination does not exist.
