District of Columbia Courts and Public Defender Service Employment Non-Discrimination Act

This bill would place workers at the District of Columbia courts and the D.C. Public Defender Service under the D.C. Human Rights Act of 1977, which bans job discrimination. Nonjudicial court employees and Public Defender Service employees would count as employees under that law, and the courts and the Service would count as employers. Complaints against the courts or the Service would not go through the separate complaint process the Act sets up for D.C. government agencies. The changes would apply to complaints filed on or after the date the bill becomes law.
