Summary
Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, establishes the Department of Fair Employment and Housing within the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency under the direction of the Director of Fair Employment and Housing. Existing law sets forth the powers and duties of the department, which include receiving, investigating, conciliating, mediating, and prosecuting complaints alleging unlawful practices or violations of specified civil rights provisions, including those based on a mental or physical disability, as defined. This bill would require the department to convene a workgroup to make recommendations to the Legislature for the development of accessibility and antidiscrimination laws for people with disabilities, as defined. The bill would require membership of the workgroup to include interested parties and stakeholders that reflect the diversity of the state, including, among other groups, individuals who have personal experience with a disability. The bill would require the workgroup to take specified actions, including examining existing laws and policies related to, among other issues, improving the effective enforcement of civil rights laws. This bill would require the department, based on the findings of the workgroup, to submit a report to the Legislature by July 1, 2025, containing recommendations on ways to achieve specified goals and priorities of the workgroup. The bill would also require the Legislature to hold public hearings on the results of the report within one year of submission of that report. This bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2027. This bill would include related legislative findings.
