Overview
This bill prohibits New Jersey employers from asking job applicants about their gender during the initial stages of the hiring process, known as the ‘initial employment application process.’ It aims to prevent discrimination based on gender identity or expression and ensures applicants aren’t penalized for not disclosing this information. The law allows inquiries about gender after this initial phase, provided it’s necessary for legal compliance. Employers who violate the law could face civil penalties.
