S3371 S3371A · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill expands the legal definition of protected statuses to explicitly include victims of sex offenses and stalking, alongside existing protections for domestic violence victims. It also adds new definitions within the executive law to clarify exactly which crimes constitute a 'sex offense' and 'stalking.' These changes ensure that anti-discrimination laws cover a broader range of victims without altering the core requirements for reasonable workplace accommodations.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of protected classes from only domestic violence victims to include victims of sex offenses and stalking.
DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'sex offense' (Article 130 of the Penal Law) and 'stalking' (degrees 1 through 4 of the Penal Law) to clarify the scope of protected statuses.

ELIGIBILITY

Expanded eligibility for anti-discrimination protections and reasonable workplace accommodations to include individuals with a perceived status as victims of sex offenses or stalking, in addition to domestic violence.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill number to S. 3371--A and added a co-sponsor (Sen. CLEARE) following committee reporting and amendment procedures.
