On March 23, 2022, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) proposed new regulations to expand the definition of certain protected classes. The amendments will create new Pennsylvania Code Sections at 16 Pa. Code §§ 41.201–41.207, and would expand the terms "sex," "religious creed" and "race" for purposes of the Pennsylvania Humans Relations Act (PHRA) and the Pennsylvania Fair Educational Opportunities Act (PFEOA). The regulations were approved on Dec. 8, 2022. The regulations are not yet in effect, but will become effective 60 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
