ND HB1450

Amends North Dakota Century Code section 14-02.4-03, subsection 2 to expand the definition of "pregnant" in employment discrimination law to include pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions.

Requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for otherwise qualified individuals with physical or mental disabilities because they are pregnant or because of their religion.

Employers are not required to provide accommodations that would disrupt normal business operations, threaten health or safety, contradict business necessity, or impose undue hardship based on business size, type, financial resources, and estimated accommodation costs.
