An Act prohibiting body size discrimination
H 1919, titled "An Act prohibiting body size discrimination," would make it illegal for employers, housing providers, and public accommodations to discriminate against individuals based on their body size (such as weight or body mass). The bill would directly affect businesses, landlords, and service providers by requiring them to avoid discriminatory practices and establish complaint procedures for affected individuals. It would create a legal framework for individuals to seek remedies if they experience such discrimination. Sponsored by Representatives Tram T. Nguyen and Rebecca L. Rausch, the bill is under review by the Judiciary Committee.
