    § 48-a.  Employment of persons with certain genetic disorders. Unless
  it can be clearly shown that a person's unique  genetic  disorder  would
  prevent such person from performing the particular job, no person who is
  otherwise qualified shall be denied equal opportunities to obtain and/or
  maintain  employment  and/or  to  advance  in position in his job solely
  because said person has a unique genetic disorder regardless of  whether
  the  employer  or  prospective  employer  is  the state or any political
  subdivision thereof or any other category of employer.
