↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Adds 'reproductive decisions' (including pregnancy, contraception, assisted reproduction, and reproductive health care) as a protected category against employment discrimination, and voids agreements limiting them, so more legal protection for reproductive choices including abortion.
A provision in this chapter referring to discrimination because of or on the basis of a reproductive decision includes discrimination because of or on the basis of: (1) marital status at the time of a pregnancy; (2) the use of assisted reproduction to become pregnant; (3) the use of contraception or a specific form of contraception; or (4) the obtainment or use of any other health care drug, device, or service relating to reproductive health.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds 'reproductive decisions' (explicitly including contraception, assisted reproduction, pregnancy, and reproductive health care) as a protected class in multiple Labor Code sections prohibiting employment discrimination by employers, agencies, unions, etc. It also voids mandatory arbitration agreements limiting such decisions and requires handbook disclosures. This expands legal protections for abortion-related and other reproductive choices in employment contexts but does not directly regulate abortion access, bans, or funding; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
