New York City Council Expands Human Rights Law
The number of religious discrimination cases has risen steadily over the past decade. This trend may continue, at least in New York City, well into the future. On August 17, 2011, the New York City Council, NYC’s law-making body, passed Local Law Int. No. 632-A, which amended the NYC Human Rights Law – already one of the strongest in the nation – to provide increased protections against religious discrimination.
