This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. addresses Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's signing of HB 7. The law expands an employer's civil liability for discriminatory employment practices under the Florida Civil Rights Act, stating that subjecting employees to workplace training that promotes or compels them to believe‰ certain concepts constitutes unlawful discrimination. HB 7, which applies to public and private employers with at least 15 employees, is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2022, but a lawsuit challenging the law has been filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida.
