An Act amending the act of October 27, 1955 (P.L.744, No.222), known as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, further providing for procedure.

Summary

The bill updates the state’s anti‑discrimination law so that civil penalties imposed on violators can be larger and are automatically adjusted each year for inflation. It also lengthens the time a person has to file a discrimination complaint from 180 days to 365 days. These changes are intended to strengthen enforcement and give victims more time to seek relief.
