The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) makes it unlawful for an employer to engage in specified discriminatory employment practices based on certain protected characteristics, including race. FEHA and existing laws define the term “race” for purposes of those provisions to include traits historically associated with race, including but not limited to, hair texture and protective hairstyles, such as braids, locs, and twists.
Assembly Bill 1815 (AB 1815) removes the term “historically” from the definitions of race under FEHA, thereby defining race to include traits associated with race, including, but not limited to, hair texture and protective hairstyles.
(AB 1815 amends section 12926 of the Government Code.)
