Summary

Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, protects and safeguards the right and opportunity of all persons to seek, obtain, and hold employment without discrimination or abridgment on account of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation. This bill would include "familial status" as an additional basis upon which the right to seek, obtain, and hold employment cannot be denied. The bill would, for employment purposes, define "familial status" as having or providing care for a child, domestic partner, grandchild, grandparent, parent, parent-in-law, sibling, or spouse.
