Bill > H0581

This bill amends Florida's civil rights laws to prohibit unlawful discrimination against pregnant employees. It defines key terms like "pregnancy" and "reasonable accommodation," and requires employers to provide written notice and post information about employees' rights related to pregnancy-related medical needs. The bill also directs the Florida Commission on Human Relations to develop education and outreach programs to inform employers, employees, and job applicants about their rights and responsibilities under this law. Additionally, the bill establishes that the new provisions cannot be construed to limit or diminish any other existing laws or employer policies related to pregnancy discrimination.
