Gov. Code, § 19791 · Chapter 12. State Civil Service Equal Employment Opportunity Program
Gov. Code, § 19791
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
As used in this chapter, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Equal employment opportunity” mean ensuring nondiscrimination and providing equal access to state jobs, work assignments, training, and other employment-related opportunities for all qualified job applicants and employees.
(b) “Underutilization” means having a statistically significant, smaller percentage of persons of a group in an occupation or at a level in a state agency than would reasonably be expected by their percentage representation in the relevant labor force. An identified underutilization is not necessarily indicative of a denial of equal employment opportunity, but warrants an analysis of the cause of the underutilization.
