Protection Against Pregnancy Discrimination

Introduced·4/10/25

North Carolina H940 protects against employment discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions.

North Carolina H940 amends the Equal Employment Practices Act to prohibit discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or pregnancy-related conditions. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so would cause undue hardship. The bill defines terms such as "business necessity" and "undue hardship." It allows individuals to file civil actions for discriminatory practices within three years of the alleged act, with potential awards including back pay, reinstatement, and attorneys' fees.
