Bill Summary
AN ACT TO ENACT THE NORTH CAROLINA CROWN ACT TO CREATE A RESPECTFUL AND OPEN WORLD FOR NATURAL HAIR.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the North Carolina CROWN Act, aims to prohibit discrimination in employment based on hair texture, hairstyles, and other traits historically associated with race. It defines "protective hairstyles" such as braids, locks, and twists, and explicitly states that employers cannot deny employment or terminate employees due to these traits or hairstyles. The bill also expands the anti-retaliation provisions to cover complaints or inquiries related to hair discrimination. The law will take effect immediately and apply to employers, employees, and job applicants.
