Concerns unlawful employment practices based on provision of health benefits plans.

This bill amends New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination (LAD) to explicitly prohibit employers from discriminating based on "genetic information" in employment decisions. It adds genetic information to the list of protected characteristics (alongside race, gender, disability, etc.) that cannot be used to deny hiring, compensation, or employment terms. The key mechanism requires employers to avoid using genetic test results or family health history as a basis for employment actions. This directly affects all New Jersey employers and employees, ensuring health-related data (like genetic predispositions) cannot be used to discriminate. The amendment aligns with broader protections in the LAD but specifically clarifies genetic information as a prohibited factor.
