New York State’s “boss bill,” sponsored by state Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) and Assembly member Ellen Jaffee (D-Suffern) would prohibit an employer from discriminating against an employee on the basis of the employee’s (or a dependent’s) reproductive health decisions, including a decision to use or access a particular drug, device, or medical service. The bill also prohibits discrimination based on an employer’s personal beliefs about such services, and would help protect women’s privacy rights at work.
