The New York State Legislature recently approved changes to state law addressing prohibited retaliation in employment, and to vehicle and traffic laws, to provide additional protections for employees or their family members regarding their citizenship or immigration status. The bill (S 1747B) amending vehicle and traffic laws was enacted last month, while the second measure (SB 5791), which seeks to protect employees from discrimination and retaliation based on immigration status, has been sent to Governor Cuomo for his expected signature.
