Bill > SB1355

This bill expands protections against discrimination in Arizona by adding "sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression" to the list of protected characteristics in various areas, including employment, housing, and public accommodations. It clarifies the definition of "gender identity and gender expression" as an individual's gender-related identity and expression regardless of their sex assigned at birth. The bill also makes technical changes, such as adjusting the number of employees required for certain employer definitions and updating references to federal law. Additionally, it mandates that newly constructed or renovated single-occupancy restrooms in public buildings be designated as gender-neutral and requires changing stations in restrooms accessible to any person regardless of gender.
