What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the fair employment law prohibits discrimination in employment
and licensing on the basis of age, race, creed, color, disability, marital status, sex,
national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, arrest record, conviction record,
military service, use or nonuse of a lawful product off the employer's premises during
nonworking hours, or declining to attend a meeting or to participate in any
communication about religious or political matters. This bill adds gender identity
as a prohibited basis for discrimination under the fair employment law.
