On November 19, 2012, a bill (A3444) was introduced in response
to reports in the New Jersey Star Ledger that a bank
purportedly provided unequal levels of health coverage to its male

Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) to prohibit discrimination in
the terms of health care benefits provided to employees. The bill
has now been referred to the Assembly Financial Institution and
Insurance Committee.
