Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The state essentially enforces the federal discrimination requirements. The Virginia Human Rights Act simply states:
“Conduct that violates any Virginia or federal statute or regulation governing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, or disability shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for the purposes of this chapter.”
“Nothing contained in this chapter shall be deemed to repeal, supersede or expand upon any of the provisions of any other state or federal law relating to discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, or disability.”
