An Act to protect unpaid interns, volunteers, and independent contractors from sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination

This bill expands anti-discrimination and anti-harassment protections under state law to include unpaid interns, volunteers, and independent contractors. It defines "employer" and "employee" to cover unpaid work, prohibiting discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics (like race, sex, or gender identity) in unpaid programs, volunteer roles, or independent contracting relationships. Employers must prevent harassment and take corrective action if they knew or should have known about it, but the protections do not create employment relationships for wage, workers' compensation, or unemployment purposes. Non-employees like vendors or contractors in the workplace also gain similar protections against harassment.
