CA AB1999

Adds "family caregiver status" as a protected characteristic under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, prohibiting employment discrimination against individuals who provide medical or supervisory care to family members.

Defines "family member" to include children, parents, spouses, domestic partners, parents-in-law, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren.

Applies protections across multiple state codes including Civil Code, Education Code, Elections Code, Government Code, Penal Code, and Welfare and Institutions Code.

Replaces the term "familial status" with "family caregiver status" in employment discrimination provisions while maintaining existing housing discrimination protections under "familial status."
