Are there any state laws that provide further protections for people with disabilities?

Yes, there are state laws in South Carolina that provide further protections for people with disabilities. The South Carolina Human Affairs Law (SCHAL) prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in employment, housing, and public accommodations, and it also provides additional protections. This law prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants and employees who have disabilities. It also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodation to workers who have disabilities. The SCHAL also prohibits discrimination based on disability in housing and public accommodations. Landlords are not allowed to refuse to rent to tenants because of their disability, and businesses are not allowed to deny access to services on the basis of disability. In addition to the SCHAL, the South Carolina Fair Housing Law protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. This law requires that all housing be accessible to people with disabilities and prohibits landlords from charging extra fees to people with disabilities. It also requires that reasonable accommodations be provided to people with disabilities. Finally, the South Carolina Protection and Advocacy System for Individuals with Disabilities (SC P&A) is an organization that provides services to protect the rights of South Carolinians with disabilities. The SC P&A provides legal services to individuals with disabilities and advocates for changes in laws and policies that will help its clients. It also provides training and educational materials for both the public and those with disabilities. With all these additional protections, South Carolina is committed to providing equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, regardless of any disability they may have.
