Bill overview
This bill amends West Virginia’s Human Rights Commission laws to broaden the scope of employers subject to discrimination claims. It expands the definition of ‘employee’ to include individuals working under independent contracts and increases the time limit for filing a complaint from 365 days to three years after the alleged discriminatory act. The bill also clarifies that the commission’s jurisdiction applies to certain employers with two or more employees.
