New York Legislation Strengthens Protections against Sexual Harassment

On the other hand, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, commented, “New York’s outdated sexual harassment laws have silenced survivors for too long. As lawmakers, it is our responsibility to protect survivors and work to improve the standards and culture in the workplace. This legislation works to close loopholes, extend the statute of limitations, and ensure that sexual harassment policies are clear for all employees across the public and private sector.”
