Qué contiene
Resumen con IA New rules would prevent people from being treated unfairly in places like schools, jobs, and housing because of their hair. This protection specifically covers hairstyles often connected to race, such as braids, locs, twists, and afros. It ensures that discriminating against someone for these hair types is considered the same as discriminating against them because of their race. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill provides an additional prohibition against discrimination in schools, workplaces, housing, places of public accommodations, and other contexts on the basis of hair texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles that are historically and commonly associated with race.4 (fair employment practices). The bill provides that discrimination on the basis of race includes discrimination on the basis of protective hair styles. The bill defines “protective hairstyles” as including braids, locs, twists, tight coils or curls, cornrows, bantu knots, afros, and headwraps.
