California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified May 16, 2026

What AB 2064 does, verified May 16, 2026

<p>This bill aims to add formerly incarcerated status to the list of protected characteristics under the Unruh Civil Rights Act. The Unruh Civil Rights Act currently prohibits discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status. The bill seeks to expand this protection to include individuals with a formerly incarcerated status, ensuring they receive equal accommodations in all business establishments. This amendment aims to promote fairness and equality for those who have completed their sentences and are reintegrated into society.</p>
