The bill amends the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, specifically updating the definitions of "employer" and "employe." The term "employer" is revised to include the Commonwealth and any political subdivisions employing two or more individuals, rather than the previous threshold of four. Additionally, it clarifies that religious, fraternal, charitable, and sectarian corporations are included as employers in cases of discriminatory practices based on various factors, provided they employ two or more individuals.

The definition of "employe" is also modified to specify that it refers to individuals under an employer's control regarding their work activities, including aspects such as hiring and scheduling. The bill excludes certain individuals from this definition, such as those working casually in a home or personal residence and those employed by their parents, spouse, or child. These changes aim to enhance the clarity and scope of the law regarding discrimination in employment practices. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
