The new law prohibits employment discrimination in the City of New Orleans based on hairstyles. The law is modeled after federal legislation introduced in January 2020 the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act (CROWN Act) designed to correct racial and cultural inequities by making hair discrimination illegal in the United States.
