Bill > S03895

This bill expands the definition of "employer" in New York labor law to include not-for-profit corporations that receive at least 50% of their budget from government sources. Currently, the definition of employer includes state and local government entities, public authorities, and certain agencies that work with adjudicated delinquent children. The new addition will bring not-for-profit organizations that are substantially funded by government sources under the same regulatory umbrella. This change appears to be part of a broader effort to standardize workplace protections and potentially extend requirements for developing and implementing workplace violence prevention programs to a wider range of organizations that provide public services. By including these not-for-profit corporations, the bill aims to ensure consistent safety standards across different types of organizations that perform quasi-governmental functions and are significantly supported by public funding.
