Bill > S07547

This bill requires cosmetology and other appearance enhancement businesses in New York to display a poster about sexual and domestic violence awareness. The Department of State, in collaboration with the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and the Division of Human Rights, will create a poster containing information about recognizing signs of sexual and domestic violence and providing resources such as toll-free hotlines and victim services. The poster will be available in the top ten non-English languages spoken in the state, based on the most recent American Community Survey data. The department will provide these posters to businesses at no cost and will also establish minimum content and design standards for businesses that choose to create their own posters. Licensed appearance enhancement businesses must display the poster in a conspicuous location accessible to customers, in a language of the business's choice. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with immediate authorization for developing necessary implementation regulations.
