New York City Council Passes Bills Regarding Sexual Harassment and Charter Revisions
The New York City Council passed several bills designed to provide greater protections against workplace sexual harassment.
One measure requires annual training for all private employers with 15 or more employees.
Additionally, the City Council passed legislation establishing a Charter Revision Commission to draft a new or revised City Charter. The last Charter Revision Commission submitted changes to voters in November 1988.
The voter-approved amendments strengthened campaign finance and conflict of interest laws.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has 30 days to sign, veto the bills, or take no action.
