Bill > A05436

This bill amends existing New York State law to prevent discrimination and increase awareness regarding menopause and perimenopause. It requires employers to provide employees with an informational pamphlet detailing their rights related to menstrual-related, perimenopausal-related, and menopausal-related conditions, including the employer's duty to provide reasonable accommodations. The bill also mandates that employers post a notice informing employees of these rights and available resources for discrimination. Furthermore, it clarifies that "menstrual-related conditions, perimenopausal-related conditions, and menopausal-related conditions" encompass a range of symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disruption, ensuring these conditions are recognized for the purpose of preventing discrimination and providing necessary accommodations in the workplace.
