Summary

(1) Existing law prohibits various types of discrimination against an officer, warrant officer, or enlisted member of the military or naval forces of the state or of the United States because of his or her membership or service, including, among others, discrimination with respect to his or her employment. Existing law provides criminal penalties and civil remedies for violations of these prohibitions. This bill would include, within these prohibitions, discrimination in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, as specified. By expanding the scope of these prohibitions, this bill would expand the scope of a crime, and thus impose a state-mandated local program. (2) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 394 of the Military and Veterans Code proposed by SB 266 to be operative only if this bill and SB 266 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
