AN ACT RELATING TO LABOR AND LABOR RELATIONS -- FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

Summary

The bill amends the state’s Fair Employment Practices chapter to redefine “employee” so that people working in domestic service are covered by anti‑discrimination rules. It also updates a range of definitions—age, sex (including pregnancy), gender identity, protective hairstyles, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and more—while clarifying who counts as an employer. By extending protections to domestic workers, the measure broadens workplace rights for a vulnerable group.
