Explanation of the Bills: |
| SONDA (A.811/Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act): Adds sexual orientation to the state’s existing laws prohibiting discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, and credit on the basis of age, race, creed, color, national origin, sex, disability or marital status. Passed the Assembly for the sixth consecutive year on March 24 by a record margin of 105 to 23. Pride Agenda’s position: SUPPORT. |
|
Hate Crimes (A.1573/Bias Related Violence & Intimidation): Makes bias related violence and intimidation, including hate violence based on sexual orientation, a distinct criminal offense and mandates that the sentence for bias related violence or intimidation run consecutive to any other sentence imposed. Passed the Assembly on January 19 by a record margin of 113 to 31. Pride Agenda’s position: SUPPORT. |
|
Stalking (A.9036/Clinic Access and Anti-Stalking Act of 1999): Forbids conduct constituting the criminal interference with health care services or religious worship. The bill’s definition of "immediate family" (for purposes of determining whether certain acts constitute stalking) includes persons who currently reside together or who have resided together in the past, thus including lesbian and gay couples and their families. It does not extend the jurisdiction of Family Court to victims of stalking who are unmarried or unrelated by blood or a child in common. Passed the Assembly on August 5 by 116 to 28. Pride Agenda’s position: SUPPORT. (The Senate is expected to pass this bill during the fall of 1999.) |
