WASHINGTON D.C. Today, Congressman Steven Horsford voted for the bipartisan passage of H.R. 1065, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The legislation would ban discrimination against reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers.
“Too often, pregnant workers have been forced to choose between a healthy pregnancy and continuing to work with pregnant women of color disproportionately impacted by inequitable workplaces,”
said Congressman Steven Horsford. “The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act establishes clear workplace regulations and protections for pregnant workers and ensures their access to reasonable accommodations. I’m proud to support this crucial legislation to guarantee the health, safety, and financial security of pregnant workers throughout Nevada.”

House Democrats Advance Legislation to Ensure Equality, Justice, and Opportunity for All
A MESSAGE FROM THE MAJORITY LEADER Following two productive committee work weeks, House Democrats returned to session this week and passed legislation to further advance our nation’s principles of equality, justice, and opportunity for all. Thursday’s passage of the Comprehensive Debt Collection Improvement Act, a package of bills to reform and curb abuses in the debt collection industry, was an important step to modernize federal laws around debt collection and protecting consumers. Today, the House passed the bipartisan Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which would require that employers provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers – and guarantee that pregnant workers can seek those accommodations without fear of retaliation or discrimination.
