SB450 clarifies the definition of harassment and sexual harassment in employment discrimination cases.
This bill works to address the staggeringly difficult threshold known as the “severe and pervasive” standard that survivors of workplace harassment must overcome in order to make a claim in court. It makes clear that there is a broad spectrum of harassment that must be taken seriously and that the lived experiences of survivors must be the focus of evaluating these cases.
Everyone deserves a workplace that is free from sexual harassment and deserves to have legal recourse when it’s not.
Urge the members of the Judicial Proceedings Committee to
support Senate Bill 450
and protect survivors of workplace sexual harassment.
