R606-4-2. Procedures and Prohibitions.

B. An exception to R606-4-2.A can be allowed based upon bona fide occupational qualification requirements. "Male" or "Female" designations, or readily understood abbreviations such as "M" or "F", may be used to indicate such preferential exception.

C. The Commission intends to review the operation of this guideline in the light of experience to ensure that male and female classifications in help-wanted advertising do not operate to limit employment opportunity.
