On December 4, Assemblymember John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, introduced the Civil Rights Act of 2007, sponsored by Equality California (EQCA). The new legislation expands nondiscrimination protections for all Californians, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

AB 14 strengthens and clarifies 51 provisions in state law by making them consistent with the strongest standards of nondiscrimination protection, which prohibit discrimination based on: race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, ethnic group identification, age, disability, medical condition, marital status, sex (including gender identity) and sexual orientation.
