Senate amendments concurred in. To Engrossing and Enrolling. (Ayes 60. Noes 15.).
Summary
The bill tells every state law that bans sex or gender discrimination to also ban a wider set of biases, including those based on gender identity, expression, pregnancy, reproductive health choices, sexual orientation and intersex characteristics. It adds these definitions to many statutes, such as the Business and Professions Code, the Civil Code, the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and requires courts to apply the broader meaning whenever there is a conflict. The measure is framed as a clarification of existing constitutional protections, not the creation of new rights.
