AB 945

Current law prohibits discrimination in employment because of age, race,

creed, color, disability, marital status, sex, national origin, ancestry, arrest or

conviction record, military service, or use or nonuse of lawful products off the

employer's premises during nonworking hours (fair employment law).

This bill prohibits the rights, remedies, or procedures provided to an individual

or a class of individuals under the fair employment law as of the day before the

effective date of the bill from being limited. If on or after the effective date of this bill

the scope of the individuals or classes of individuals who are provided with any

rights, remedies, or procedures under the fair employment law is expanded, those

individuals or classes of individuals shall be provided with the same rights,

remedies, and procedures that are provided to the individuals or classes of

individuals who are covered under that law as of the day before the effective date of

that expansion. If on or after the effective date of this bill the rights, remedies, or

procedures that are provided to an individual or class of individuals under the fair

employment law are expanded, the same rights, remedies, and procedures shall be

provided to all individuals or classes of individuals who are covered under that law.
