Bill > A06479

This bill amends the New York Executive Law and Civil Practice Law and Rules to address issues related to sexual harassment in the workplace. Specifically, it prohibits employers from restricting the timeframe for employees to file sexual harassment claims, and extends the statute of limitations for filing sexual harassment complaints with the State Division of Human Rights to three years after the alleged unlawful discriminatory practice or the cessation of employment, whichever is later. The bill also creates a new section in the Civil Practice Law and Rules that allows for civil claims related to sexual harassment in the workplace to be brought within three years of the person filing a complaint with their employer or ceasing employment with that employer, whichever is later.
