AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to the statute of limitations for actions based upon unlawful discriminatory practice in employment

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules to establish a six-year statute of limitations for actions based on unlawful discriminatory practices in employment. Previously, there was no specific statute of limitations for such actions, which could lead to uncertainty and inconsistency. The bill provides a clear and consistent timeline for bringing employment discrimination claims, bringing the law in line with the statute of limitations for other types of civil actions. The bill also makes some other technical amendments to the statute of limitations provisions in the law.
