Overview of Disability
Executive Order S-6-04 directs the State Personnel Board (SPB) to provide leadership, coordination, technical guidance, and enforcement of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) efforts and non-discriminatory employment practices within the State civil service.
The SPB assists State departments in recruitment, employment, and retention of persons with disabilities including the collection, monitoring, and reporting of employment information regarding the representation of State employees with disabilities.
Definition of Disability
Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the definition of disability is "...having any physiological disease, disorder, condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss [that] limits an individual's ability to participate in major life activities."
