4:02Now PlayingOregon joined a number of states in 2021 passing legislation that prohibits race-based hair discrimination in schools and the workplace. The bill has now gone into effect.
House Bill 2935, known as the CROWN Act, stands for "creating a respectful and open world for natural hair" and enacts policies first introduced and passed in California in 2019.
Oregon's version amends existing laws against discrimination based on race to include characteristics like hair texture and "protective hairstyles" such as braids, locs, bantu knots and twists.
The new law allows anyone who believes they have experienced hair discrimination to file a written or verbal complaint against their workplace or school.
