Summary

The bill adds new sections to dozens of California codes, stating that any law that bans discrimination based on sex or gender must also cover the expanded definition of sex discrimination set out in the bill. It applies to employers, schools, businesses, courts, health‑care providers and many other entities, and lets anyone who believes they have been harmed file a verified complaint with the Civil Rights Department. By clarifying the scope, the measure aims to give stronger protection to people who face bias because of gender‑related characteristics or reproductive health choices.
