An Act promoting family health and economic security by eliminating discrimination and ensuring reasonable workplace accommodations for workers whose ability to perform the functions of a job are limited by pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition; and imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.

SB 276, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, requires Pennsylvania employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with pregnancy-related limitations (like modified schedules, extra breaks, or equipment adjustments) unless it causes significant cost or disruption to the business. It prohibits employers from refusing such accommodations, forcing leave when alternatives exist, or retaliating against workers who request them. The law applies to all employers in Pennsylvania and makes it illegal to deny employment or change work terms based on pregnancy-related needs. Employees can file complaints with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission if their rights are violated, with enforcement mirroring existing anti-discrimination procedures.
