5. Current law requires heads of executive departments and agencies to
determine whether there is arbitrary discrimination on the basis of sex or sexual
orientation, and to take remedial action if such discrimination is found. This bill
requires these heads to also determine if there is discrimination on the basis of
gender identity or gender expression, and take remedial action regarding such
discrimination.
6. Current law prohibits discriminating against an employee, prospective
employee, patient, or resident of an approved treatment facility providing treatment

of alcoholic, drug dependent, mentally ill, or developmentally disabled persons on
the basis of sex. This bill adds sexual orientation and gender identity or gender
expression as prohibited bases of discrimination.
7. Current law prohibits agency rules from discriminating against a person by
reason of sex or sexual orientation. This bill adds gender identity or gender
expression as prohibited bases of discrimination.

vocational rehabilitation or mental health services. This bill adds sexual orientation

9. Current law prohibits the national guard or state defense force from denying
membership based on sex or sexual orientation. This bill adds gender identity or
gender expression as a prohibited basis of discrimination. This bill also provides that
no member of the national guard or state defense force may be denied equal access
to facilities most consistent with the person's gender identity.
10. Current law provides that sex is a bona fide occupational qualification if all
of the members of one sex are physically incapable of performing the essential duties
required by a job, or if the essence of the employer's business operation would be
undermined if employees were not hired exclusively from one sex. This bill adds to
the sex as a bona fide occupational qualification law that an individual may not be
treated or regarded inconsistent with the individual's gender identity, or
discriminated against based on the individual's gender identity or gender
expression.
11. Current law permits public places of accommodation or amusement to
provide separate facilities to persons of different sexes. This bill provides that public

the basis of age, residence, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry,
marital status, occupation, gender identity or gender expression, sex, or sexual

network companies, and real estate brokers and salespersons from discriminating
against an individual on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or gender
expression.
