• A. EEOC
• B. DFEH

• D. DLSE

Answer: (B)

AB 9 changes how long you have to file discrimination complaints with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, extending the filing period to three years. The department this applies to is the DFEH itself, since the bill specifically adjusts the timeline for state-level discrimination claims handled by that agency. This extension does not alter deadlines for complaints filed with other bodies, like the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or California’s Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, which each operate under their own time limits. If you’re pursuing a state discrimination claim, filing with the DFEH ensures you can rely on the three-year window, while complaints with other agencies would follow their respective timelines.
