The goal is to expand the list of actions that constitute a reprisal, including psychological injury.
We heard from experts that reprisals are more often manifested as psychological assault and that the infliction of emotional distress is more stealthy and harder to catch and litigate than traditional forms of reprisals like firing and demotion. We also heard from witnesses who experienced severe psychological distress and lifelong psychological conditions resulting from this. Certainly, these need to be considered under reprisals.
I think this gives a better definition, and it broadens it. Basically, expanding the list is what we're looking to do.
