Senate Majority Leader Andrea Steward-Cousins said that the Senate will move to pass bill S3817A, legislation sponsored by State Senator Alessandra Biaggi to eliminate the “severe and pervasive” standard applied to sexual harassment cases and harassment based on all protected categories.
State Senator Alessandra Biaggi issued the following statement:
"The Senate is not what it use to be – this body is ready to make changes that put survivors first and protect New Yorkers from future sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The first step is to eliminate the 'severe and pervasive' standard once and for all, and make sure that employers are held accountable for creating safe work environments for their employees. I thank Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for her fervent support on this issue.”
