Bill > S04746

This bill requires all members of state boards and commissions, regardless of whether they are paid or unpaid, to complete annual discrimination, bias, and harassment prevention training. Specifically, the training must adhere to the standards outlined in section 201-g of the labor law, which likely provides guidelines for the content and delivery of such training. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that individuals serving on state boards and commissions are educated about preventing discriminatory behaviors and creating inclusive environments. The bill will take effect 90 days after it becomes law, and state agencies are authorized to develop and implement the necessary regulations in preparation for the law's effective date. This type of mandatory training is aimed at reducing workplace discrimination and promoting more equitable practices within state governance structures by raising awareness and providing education on bias and harassment prevention.
