Senate Bill 396, known as The Transgender Work Opportunity Act, signed into law on Oct. 15, 2017, took effect on Jan. 1, 2018. The bill amended the California Fair Employment and Housing Act with respect to transgender persons. The act does not change substantive anti-discrimination law: sexual orientation has been a protected category under the FEHA since 2000, and gender identity and expression have been protected under the FEHA since 2004.
