AI Summary

This bill aims to protect unpaid interns, volunteers, and independent contractors from sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. It expands the definition of "employer" and "employee" to include those engaged in unpaid work, and makes it unlawful for employers, labor organizations, and other entities to discriminate against or harass such individuals. The bill also allows non-employees, such as contractors and subcontractors, to file complaints of harassment in the employer's workplace. Overall, the bill seeks to extend anti-discrimination protections to a broader range of workers, including those not traditionally considered "employees."
