Bill > S06611

This bill amends the New York Executive Law to include correctional facilities and local correctional facilities as publicly-assisted housing accommodations under the jurisdiction of the Division of Human Rights. The bill defines "correctional facility" and "local correctional facility" as having the same meaning as in the Correction Law. It also specifies that law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, and local correctional facilities are subject to the state's human rights law, which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations based on various protected characteristics.
