Bill overview
This bill clarifies the definition of a ‘group or class complaint’ under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). It extends the time limits for filing a civil action when a complaint is filed with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, particularly when the complaint is treated as a group or class complaint. Specifically, it tolls the time to file a lawsuit if the complaint is appealed or if a petition to compel is pending, and it adjusts the deadline for the department to issue a ‘right-to-sue’ notice based on whether the complaint is a group or class complaint or if the director’s or group or class complaint has been fully disposed of.
