Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Beyond the federally protected classes (which include race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, pregnancy, genetic information, disability, and veteran status), Indiana regulates discrimination on the basis of off-duty tobacco use.
An employer may not require, as a condition of employment, an employee or prospective employee to refrain from using, or discriminate against an employee with respect to compensation, benefits, or terms and conditions of employment, based on the employee’s use of tobacco products outside the course of employment.
