To make it unlawful for a person to deny an individual full and equal enjoyment of public accommodations or for an employer to discriminate against an applicant or employee based upon the individual's weight or body size; state cause of action against an employer who does so created

HB 20 prohibits businesses from denying customers equal access to public spaces like restaurants, stores, or hotels based on weight or body size. It also bans employers from making hiring, firing, or promotion decisions based on these factors, creating a legal cause of action for affected individuals. Victims could sue employers for lost wages, benefits, or liquidated damages if discrimination is proven. The bill would take effect on October 1, 2025, if enacted.
