Summary

Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, it is unlawful to engage in specified discriminatory practices in employment or housing accommodations on the basis of sex. Under existing law, "sex," for purposes of the act, includes gender, pregnancy, childbirth, and medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. This bill would provide that, for purposes of the act, the term "sex" also includes breastfeeding or medical conditions related to breastfeeding. This bill would also state that the changes made by this bill to the above provisions are declaratory of existing law. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 12926 of the Government Code proposed by AB 1964, that would become operative only if AB 1964 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2013, and this bill is chaptered last.
