Bill > A05012

This bill amends the New York State labor law to expand the definition of "employer" 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, public benefit corporations, governmental agencies, and certain authorized agencies that handle delinquent youth. The bill adds a new category of employers by including not-for-profit corporations that are substantially funded by government sources, which would subject these organizations to the same workplace violence prevention requirements as public employers. This change aims to ensure that non-profit organizations with significant government funding implement comprehensive workplace violence prevention programs, potentially improving safety for employees in these organizations. The amendment broadens the scope of workplace violence prevention regulations to cover a wider range of organizations that serve public interests and rely heavily on government funding.
