Protecting Residents From Height And Weight Discrimination

New Local Law 61 Now in Effect: Protecting Residents from Height and Weight Discrimination.

Protecting Residents From Height And Weight Discrimination

Speaker Adrienne Adams and Council Member Shaun Abreu have issued a statement on Local Law 61 of 2023. This law, now in effect, prevents discrimination based on height or weight in employment, housing, and public spaces. It aims to safeguard all New Yorkers, regardless of their body size.

The lawmakers note that size discrimination affects many people each year. It results in unfair differences in medical treatment and outcomes. They hope the law will remove obstacles in job opportunities, housing, and public spaces. It also aims to rectify injustices experienced by individuals due to their body size.

Adams and Abreu thanked their government colleagues, advocates, and labor partners for their support in passing this law. They hope for the law’s complete and effective implementation, which they think will set a standard for anti-discrimination.
