RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION.

Updated the definition of 'breastfeeding' to explicitly include the act of expressing milk at the workplace, ensuring lactating employees are protected even if they are not directly feeding a child at that moment.

Extended anti-discrimination protections for domestic workers to include discrimination based on reproductive health decisions, filling a gap in previous coverage.

Clarified employer obligations regarding domestic violence verification by stating that employers 'shall not' request further verification once a protective order with an expiration date is provided, removing ambiguity about employer discretion.

Standardized the phrasing of prohibited discrimination across multiple statutes (education, public accommodations, and real estate) to consistently list specific prohibited actions like 'exclusion from participation' and 'denial of benefits' rather than using varied phrasing.

Updated administrative metadata including the bill author name, revision numbers, and effective dates to reflect the second House District version of the bill.

The effective date of the Act was changed from 'upon approval' to a fixed date of July 1, 3000.

New statutory language was added to explicitly define and prohibit discrimination based on the intersection or combination of multiple protected characteristics.

The bill now explicitly prohibits discrimination based on a person's association with someone who possesses a protected characteristic.

The bill text was reorganized to break down the prohibition of discrimination into numbered subsections for clarity.
