Bill	Unlawful employment practices: discrimination and harassment.	The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits various actions as unlawful employment practices unless the employer acts based upon a bona fide occupational qualification or applicable security regulations established by the United States or the State of California. In this regard, FEHA makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer, labor organization, employment agency, apprenticeship training program, or any training program leading to employment, to engage in harassment of an employee or other specified person. FEHA also makes harassment of those persons by an employee, other than an agent or supervisor, unlawful if the entity, or its agents or supervisors, knows or should have known of this conduct and fails to take immediate and appropriate corrective action.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	SB 1300	California SB 1300 (20172018)	bill	Unlawful employment practices: discrimination and harassment.	enacted	Jackson	8	31	10	2018-02-16	2018-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/0b670db0-598a-4686-b81b-4e5f4743fa47	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1300	6229ff4133233de4fa33b39e61bae28ca268f4e38577e43a14b80974bffe527c	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
