A 4487 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits workplace discrimination based on menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause.

New Jersey Assembly Bill 4487 prohibits workplace discrimination based on menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause. It amends the state's anti-discrimination law to explicitly include these health conditions as protected characteristics under the Law Against Discrimination. This means employers cannot make employment decisions - such as hiring, firing, promotions, or assignments - based on these natural health conditions. Employees facing such discrimination could file complaints with the Division on Civil Rights for enforcement. The bill directly affects all employers covered by New Jersey's anti-discrimination law, including private businesses and government entities.
