Filing a Complaint

Under the jurisdiction of 9 V.S.A. § 4552, the Human Rights Commission (HRC) may investigate allegations of discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and state government employment. To confirm whether you fall into one or more of the categories protected under anti-discrimination law, please review our Jurisdiction webpage.
