Clarifies that sexual harrassment and sexual assault constitute unlawful discrimination on basis of sex.

This bill amends New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination to explicitly state that sexual harassment and sexual assault constitute unlawful discrimination based on sex. It codifies existing legal precedent established by U.S. and New Jersey Supreme Court decisions, including Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson and Lehmann v. Toys "R" Us, which have long held that such misconduct is a form of sex discrimination. The clarification directly affects employers, employees, and educational institutions by making clear that these behaviors are prohibited under New Jersey's anti-discrimination law. This change aligns New Jersey law with established court rulings rather than creating new legal standards.
