Bill overview
This bill, the "Employee Privacy Protection Act," protects employees from discrimination by employers based on lawful activities they engage in during their non-work hours. It prohibits employers from taking adverse employment actions – such as firing, refusing to hire, or denying promotions – because an employee pursues these activities outside of work. However, there are exceptions for activities that directly impact job requirements, create conflicts of interest, violate company policies, or are mandated by law. The bill also includes provisions to prevent retaliation against employees who report violations or oppose discriminatory practices.
