Relates to prohibiting retaliatory action by employers for the reporting of discrimination violations

This bill prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who report discrimination. It specifically protects workers who disclose discrimination to supervisors or public bodies, provide information during investigations, refuse to participate in discriminatory practices, or file formal complaints under New York's anti-discrimination law (Article 15 of the Executive Law). Employers cannot punish, fire, or take adverse action against employees for these protected activities. The law takes effect immediately and applies to all employers covered by New York's labor protections.
