Enhances protections under Law Against Discrimination for immigrants and persons who are not United States citizens.
New Jersey S3792 amends the Law Against Discrimination to add immigration status and citizenship status as protected characteristics in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It defines "immigration status" as an individual's category of presence in the United States, including naturalized citizen, permanent resident, asylee, refugee, work authorization holder, or undocumented individual. The bill prohibits discrimination based on these characteristics and allows exceptions only when required by federal or state law or necessary to obtain program benefits.
