Both Sachs and Skidmore said in phone interviews late last week that the bill prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, familial status and marital status.
The bill is available at the official State of Florida House of Representives Web site: www.myfloridahouse.gov
Twenty-one other members of the Florida House besides Sachs and Skidmore support the bill.
The 60-day legislative session for the Florida Senate begins Tuesday, March 3.
