Bill > AB1940

This bill amends existing California law to explicitly include perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause, and related medical conditions within the definition of "sex" for the purposes of discrimination protections under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), meaning employers cannot discriminate against employees based on these conditions. Additionally, the bill mandates that by July 1, 2027, the Civil Rights Department must update its employment discrimination poster to inform women of their rights and protections concerning menopause-related symptoms, and the Governor's Office of Service and Community Engagement must launch public awareness campaigns to educate employees and employers about these rights and protections, including information on reasonable accommodations, medical leave, and anti-retaliation measures, while also ensuring culturally competent and linguistically appropriate outreach to diverse communities.
