Overview
This bill codifies protections within New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination to cover instances of ‘disparate impact.’ This means the law now explicitly protects individuals who experience discrimination not through intentional actions, but through the negative effects of policies that disproportionately harm them due to their protected characteristics (like race, gender, or disability). The bill clarifies that both direct discrimination and indirect discrimination are prohibited under the law, and aims to ensure broader legal remedies for those harmed by these practices.
