Bill > H7768

This bill amends existing law to explicitly prohibit any employer, employment agency, labor organization, or employee from committing any act that is already defined as an unlawful employment practice, which includes discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, age, or country of ancestral origin, among other things. Crucially, the bill clarifies that individuals, including individual employees, can be held personally liable for such unlawful conduct, meaning they can be held responsible for their own discriminatory actions. This change is intended to strengthen enforcement and accountability for discriminatory practices in the workplace and will take effect immediately upon its passage.
