(B) A person shall not coerce, threaten or retaliate against another for making a complaint or assisting in any investigation regarding a violation or alleged violation of this chapter. A person shall not require, request, conspire with, coerce or otherwise assist a person to retaliate against a person for making a complaint or assisting in an investigation.
(C) A person shall not conspire with, assist, coerce, or request another to discriminate in any manner prohibited by this chapter.
(D) A person shall not adopt, enforce, or employ any policy, practice or requirement which, while facially neutral, has the effect of discriminating in a manner prohibited by this chapter, except when there is a bona fide business necessity for such a policy, practice or requirement. For the purposes of this chapter, BONA FIDE BUSINESS NECESSITY means that the policy, practice or requirement is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the person’s business.
