Rights ordinance moves toward Cedar Rapids council approval
The Cedar Rapids Human Rights Commission approved a revised ordinance to create the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission and streamline operations. The measure reduces members to 11, expands coverage to age and disability, and sets grounds for removal for neglect or malfeasance. The commission also reviewed case reports and two discrimination findings against a local manufacturer while several other cases were closed or settled.
