Bill > S1207

This bill aims to prohibit employers and employment agencies from discriminating against individuals based on their status as unemployed. It prohibits them from refusing to hire, limiting, or classifying applicants based on their unemployment status, as well as from posting job ads that exclude the unemployed. However, the bill provides exceptions, allowing employers to consider an applicant's employment history or reasons for unemployment, and to set certain job qualifications. Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful for employers to request or require employees or applicants to disclose personal account information, with some exceptions for investigating compliance with financial laws or unauthorized use of the employer's proprietary information.
