Prohibiting any limitation on the rights, remedies, or procedures that are provided to an individual or class of individuals under the law prohibiting discrimination in employment

What it would have done

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
