AZ HB2660

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 41-1463 to add "long-term unemployment status" as a protected class in employment discrimination law.

Defines "long-term unemployment status" as a person who has been without employment for 27 or more continuous weeks.

Prohibits employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, and training programs from discriminating against individuals based on their long-term unemployment status in hiring, firing, compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.

Applies the same anti-discrimination protections for long-term unemployed status to all existing employment discrimination provisions covering race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, and disability.
