Bill Summary
This bill expands certain civil rights protections under the New Jersey "Law Against Discrimination" by making it an unlawful employment practice for any employer, employee or an agent thereof to discriminate against an employee on the basis of menstruation, perimenopause, or menopause, if the symptoms of menstruation, perimenopause, or menopause substantially interfere with an employee's ability to perform one or more job functions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the New Jersey "Law Against Discrimination" to prohibit workplace discrimination based on menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause. Specifically, it makes it unlawful for an employer, employee, or their agent to discriminate against an employee due to these conditions if their symptoms substantially interfere with their ability to perform job functions. The bill also defines "menopause" as the permanent end of a menstrual cycle, diagnosed by a medical provider after 12 consecutive months without a period, and "perimenopause" as the transitional period leading to menopause characterized by fluctuating hormone levels and changes in menstrual cycles.
