It defines key terms such as "law enforcement officer," "law enforcement agency," and "correctional facility" to clarify the scope of the law's jurisdiction. The bill also prohibits discrimination in the provision of accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges of correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies based on race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, disability, or marital status.
