Relating to statute of limitations for discrimination

HB 2829 extends the statute of limitations for filing discrimination complaints from one year to three years under West Virginia law. It directly affects individuals who experience workplace discrimination by giving them more time to submit formal complaints to the Human Rights Commission. The bill amends §16B-17-10 to require complaints be filed within three years of the alleged discriminatory act, while also clarifying that "employer" includes any entity with 12 or more employees (previously 20+). These changes apply to claims involving protected characteristics like race, gender, disability, or age under the state's human rights protections.
