This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses new legislation (814-A) amending the New York City Administrative Code to prohibit New York City employers with at least four employees from basing employment decisions on applicants' unemployed status. In addition, all employers are prohibited from publishing any job advertisement that indicates that current employment is required. This legislation was originally vetoed by Mayor Bloomberg but Bloomberg was overridden by the New York City Council on March 13, 2013. In passing this law, New York City joins New Jersey, Oregon and the District of Columbia. The law will take effect on June 11, 2013, 90 days after its enactment.
