One law would be to allow the governor to overturn the decisions of the civil rights director. A law could also allow an appeal to the courts but the courts would be more likely to back up the director and I imagine that an appeal to the courts is already possible even if not specifically authorized by any law. An alternative to allowing the governor to directly overrule such ruling himself would be to create a procedure where the governor can put the ruling in front of the legislature for a straight up/down vote.

My main problem with exceptions is having a complex uncertain patchwork, but your right we probably can't avoid that. Codifying discrimination isn't really a problem for me because I don't think limiting the reach of the law amounts to sanctioning anything beyond that reach and even if I did, I'd rather "codify discrimination" then allow further expanse of the law.

Edit - Would it be "codifying discrimination" id the director had ruled the other way?
