Summary

This legislation would require senior service providers to attend a training to prevent and eliminate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression and to take a refresher training at least once every three years. The Department would also be required to hold at least two educational sessions each year to provide counseling and training to guests and senior center members on such discrimination. Senior centers would also be required to post signs in common areas with information about discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, including how to report such instances and available avenues of relief and action.
