The proposed bill, known as the "employee family health privacy act," aims to protect employees from discrimination based on the health conditions of their family members. It prohibits employers from making employment decisions, such as hiring or firing, based on an employee's known or believed family health issues. Additionally, the bill restricts employers from inquiring about the physical condition or health status of an employee's family member, with specific exceptions for verifying eligibility for sick leave, family and medical leave, or processing health coverage claims.

The bill also includes provisions against retaliation, ensuring that individuals cannot be discriminated against for participating in investigations or opposing violations of the act. It establishes that any waiver of rights under this act is void and unenforceable, and allows individuals harmed by violations to seek civil action for injunctive relief and damages, with the possibility of recovering attorney fees. The act will apply to collective bargaining or employment agreements entered into, renewed, or extended after its effective date.
