TRENTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill today, S-2522, to forbid employers from discriminating against women in the workplace because they become pregnant or are mothers. It now goes to the full Senate for a vote.

“It’s an outrage to consider that, in this day and age, women actually don’t have protection in the workplace from being harassed or fired for becoming pregnant,” said Senator John H. Adler, Committee Chairman and a prime sponsor of the bill. “Today, we are beginning the fix to that bad situation.”
