As we previously wrote about
here, the New York Legislature has been considering a bill that
would afford the protections of the New York State Human Rights Law
to unpaid interns in the State of New York. Similar legislation
passed in New York City on April 15, 2014, extending the
protections of the New York City Human Rights Law to interns who
work in the City, and takes effect on June 14, 2014. The State bill
recently took a major step forward as the Senate Investigations and
Government Operations Committee approved it with only a single vote
against it. The next step is a vote in the full Senate.
We will continue to monitor this proposed legislation and will
provide updates as they become available.
