Which cities require contractors to offer DP benefits?
In 1996, the city of San Francisco passed the nation’s first equal benefits ordinance, which requires employers that contract with the city government to offer the same benefits to employees’ domestic partners as they offer to their legal spouses. Since then, these jurisdictions have passed similar laws: Los Angeles; Seattle; Berkeley, Calif.; Oakland, Calif.; San Mateo County, Calif.; and Tumwater, Wash. These laws have led more than 3,000 employers to provide equal benefits to employees’ unmarried partners.
