AB 1937: Discrimination: business establishments.
The bill aims to clarify that the existing Unruh Civil Rights Act applies to early childcare and education settings. This means that all individuals, regardless of their background, are entitled to equal access and services in these establishments. The bill does not limit existing protections, and it does not require the disclosure of immigration or citizenship status. Instead, it specifically targets business establishments that provide early care and education services to the public for a fee or other consideration, such as childcare centers, family childcare homes, and friend and neighbor care providers.
