Committee on State and Federal Legislation

Tuesday, February 28, 2023 · 10:00 AM AM · Committee Room - City Hall

TL;DR

The Committee on State and Federal Legislation held hearings on two proposed laws aimed at preventing appearance-based discrimination in New York City. Both proposals—one prohibiting discrimination based on height or weight, and another prohibiting discrimination based on tattoos—were postponed for further consideration rather than voted on immediately.

Key Decisions

  • Oversight hearing on appearance-based discrimination efforts Filed
  • Local Law prohibiting height/weight discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations Laid Over
  • Local Law prohibiting employment discrimination based on tattoos Laid Over
