Report Link NY Court Voids City Law Requiring Contractors to Provide Domestic Partner Benefits (pdf).
Vedder Price - April 07, 2006
On February 14, 2006, the New York Court of Appeals held, in a 4–3 decision, that the New York City Equal Benefits Law, which prohibited city agencies from entering into contracts with firms that do not provide dependent benefits to employees’ domestic partners, is preempted by both state and federal law. The decision ends a legal dispute between Mayor Bloomberg and the New York City Council over the law, which had been enacted by the Council over the Mayor’s veto in 2004.
Report Link New York High Court Invalidates City's Domestic Partner Equal Benefits Law.
Jackson Lewis LLP - February 16, 2006
On February 14, 2006, the New York State Court of Appeals, affirming an earlier decision by the Appellate Division, refused to compel the Mayor of New York City to enforce the New York City Equal Benefits Law requiring certain City contractors to provide domestic partner benefits to employees. Specifically, the state high court ruled that the law passed by the New York City Council was invalid on the grounds that it was preempted by both state and federal law. New York City employers will not be required to comply with the Equal Benefits Law, as reported in Jackson Lewis Legal Updates, November 11, 2004.
