Bill H.429 proposes to expand the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Commission to include complaints of unlawful discrimination against members of the General Assembly and elected statewide officials. This change aims to ensure that elected representatives are protected under the same anti-discrimination laws that apply to other individuals in the state.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to formally grant this jurisdiction to the Human Rights Commission. By doing so, it seeks to enhance accountability and promote equality within the state's legislative framework.
