The Commission on Human Rights is the sole state civil rights enforcement agency in Kentucky, and is charged to “…safeguard all individuals within the state from discrimination.” Pursuant to KRS Chapter 344, the Commission investigates, litigates, and administratively decides complaints of discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodation, housing, and credit based on race, religion, national origin, age, disability, sex, smoking in employment, and familial status for housing decisions. The Commission has four service units: General Administration and Support, Enforcement, Research and Information, and Legal Affairs.

General Administration and Support performs personnel and fiscal activities and serves as a liaison with the Governor's Office, legislators, and other agencies in state government. This unit is responsible for development of internal policy directives and legislative initiatives.
