Existing law, the Moore-Brown-Roberti Family Rights Act, makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer, as defined, to refuse to grant a request by an eligible employee to take up to 12 workweeks of unpaid protected leave during any 12-month period (1) to bond with a child who was born to, adopted by, or placed for foster care with, the employee, (2) to care for the employee's parent, spouse, or child who has a serious health condition, as defined, or (3) because the employee is suffering from a serious health condition rendering him or her unable to perform the functions of the job. Existing law makes it an unlawful employment practice, unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification, for an employer to refuse to allow a female employee affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions to take leave on account of pregnancy for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 4 months and thereafter return to work. Leave under these provisions is in addition to the leave provided under the Moore-Brown-Roberti Family Rights Act. Additionally, existing law makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to refuse to provide reasonable accommodation for an employee for conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, if she so requests, with the advice of her health care provider. This bill would also make it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of, or the attempt to exercise, any right provided under the above provisions. This bill would also state that the changes made by this bill to the above provisions are declaratory of existing law. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 12945 of the Government Code proposed by SB 299, to be operative only if SB 299 and this bill are both enacted, both bills become effective on or before January 1, 2012, and this bill is enacted last.
