Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill clarifies that New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination protects people from discrimination based on "disparate impact." This means it covers situations where a policy that seems neutral on its face unfairly harms people because of their race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. The changes ensure that legal remedies, including damages, are available for these types of discrimination.
