Prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person's height or weight in opportunities of employment, housing, and access to public accommodations

This bill (S 5503) prohibits discrimination based on a person's height or weight in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It amends New York's Executive Law to add height and weight as protected characteristics under existing anti-discrimination statutes, making it illegal for employers, housing providers, and public spaces to deny opportunities or services based on these factors. The law includes exceptions for federal requirements and reasonable accommodations that allow individuals to perform job duties. It also explicitly prohibits harassment related to height or weight and clarifies that employers must demonstrate they had no alternative accommodations before applying height/weight standards.
