Socioeconomic undefined, unprecedented, leaves businesses exposed 2. Gender expression/Gender related behavior undefined, businesses exposed 3. Age discrimination lowered from 40 to 18 4. Contractors doing business with the city undefined 5. Criminal vs. civil charges contradictory to all existing discrimination laws, unprecedented, vague, undefined; leaving businesses vulnerable 6. Employee undefined; do they all have to live in AR? Live and work in Fayetteville? It is unclear even who is required to comply. 7.
