AB 9 (Stop Harassment and Reporting Extension) extended the statute of limitations for filing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation complaints with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing from 1 year to how many years?

• A. 2 years
• B. 3 years
• C. 4 years
• D. 5 years

Answer: (B)

AB 9 expands the window for filing FEHA discrimination, harassment, or retaliation complaints with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing to three years. This change makes it easier for someone who discovers harm or gathers evidence over time to pursue a claim, especially in cases where harassment or retaliation unfolds gradually or spans multiple incidents. The three-year period applies to most FEHA complaints filed with DFEH, replacing the previous one-year limit. In short, you have up to three years from the alleged act to file, rather than one.
