HR 4226 United States House · 118th Congress

District of Columbia Courts and Public Defender Service Employment Non-Discrimination Act

This bill extends the District of Columbia Human Rights Act to cover nonjudicial employees of DC courts and the Public Defender Service, making them subject to the same anti-discrimination protections as other DC government workers. It explicitly adds these employees to the definition of "employees" under the Human Rights Act and designates their employers (the courts and Public Defender Service) as covered "employers." The bill also removes these entities from separate complaint procedures, requiring discrimination complaints against them to follow the standard DC Human Rights Act process. The changes apply to complaints filed after the bill's enactment date.
