KY HB772

Adds weight as a protected class under Kentucky's employment discrimination laws (KRS Chapter 344), alongside existing protections for race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age 40 and over, disability, and smoking status.

Prohibits employers from refusing to hire, discharging, or discriminating in compensation, terms, or conditions of employment based on an individual's weight.

Extends weight-based discrimination protections to employment agencies, licensing agencies, labor organizations, and apprenticeship/training programs.

Prohibits job advertisements from indicating weight-based preferences, limitations, or specifications unless weight is a bona fide occupational qualification.

Allows weight to be used as a legitimate basis for employment decisions only when it constitutes a bona fide occupational qualification for a specific position.
