By Council Members Lander, Johnson, Rosenthal, Lancman, Rose and Kallos

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to construction of the New York city human rights law

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Following the passage of local law number 85 for the year 2005, known as the Local Civil Rights Restoration Act, some judicial decisions have correctly understood and analyzed the requirement of section 8-130 of the administrative code of the city of New York that all provisions of the New York city human rights law be liberally and independently construed. The purpose of this local law is to provide additional guidance for the development of an independent body of jurisprudence for the New York city human rights law that is maximally protective of civil rights in all circumstances.
