A California senator is hoping to create a new law to end sexual harassment in the venture capital world. Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) is introducing a bill this week that would explicitly prohibit sexual harassment by venture capitalists as an amendment to a current civil rights law. The bill, SB 224, comes in response to accounts from women tech entrepreneurs who have described how they were sexually harassed while seeking funding from venture capitalists. The proposed bill would amend the Unruh Act, a civil rights law in California that protects against sexual harassment in business relationships.
