Summary

The bill adds a new Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to North Carolina law, obligating covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy‑related limitations unless it causes undue hardship. It protects employees from discrimination, retaliation, and forced leave, and gives them a private right to sue. The measure also earmarks $600,000 for the Department of Labor, the state courts, and the Legislative Services Office to roll out the new rules.
