Attorney Andrew Lieb breaks down SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade on Court TV on 6/24/2022.
Supreme Court Strikes Down New York Concealed Gun Law. The presumption now is that everyone has a right to have a gun because it is the "quintessential self-defense weapon" according to SCOTUS. After this case, states cannot premise gun regulations on the state's important interest, but instead the text of the constitution and its context from the history when it was written.

All companies hiring on work that can be performed in NY will soon need to advertise the job's compensation / wages.
A10477 has passed both houses of the NYS Congress and once signed by the Governor, it will go into effect 270 days later.
Interestingly, the law is very broadly written where it applies to advertising "a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that can or will be performed, at least in part, in the state of New York." Notice the word can in there. Theoretically, this will make all remote work opportunities around the world be subject to this law.
The law, Labor Law 194-b, will require disclosure of both a job description and a range of compensation. Plus, employers will be required to keep records to prove compliance and there are big penalties for violations.
Back on May 5, 2021, NY established the Health and Essential Rights Act (HERO Act), which requires employers to take various measures to protect employees from future airborne infectious disease outbreak.
To remind you about the HERO Act:
Now, both houses of the NYS Congress have passed A10492, and once signed by Governor Hochul, employers will have 5 business days to recognize the establishment of workplace safety committees or face a civil penalty of not less than $50 per day until the violation is remedied.
If your company hasn't yet complied with the HERO Act, now is the day to get it done!
On June 1, 2022, which was the start of Pride Month, the NYS Senate Passed S6501B to establish the LGBTQ+ Advisory Board to "[a]dvise the governor regarding the development of economic, professional, cultural, and educational links between New York state and the LGBTQ+ community in New York state and advise state agencies in developing policies designed to meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ community in New York state."
While this is a great move because having the community represented in Government is important, it's questionable why the law provides that all members of the new board must "identify as LGBTQ+".
What ever happened to allies being important in removing discrimination? Shouldn't we want experts on the topic to advise government irrespective of their personal orientation. Stated otherwise, shouldn't we want leaders in the study of health behavior, law, economics, etc. who have dedicated their careers to studying their field as it relates to the LGBTQ+ community rather than making lay anecdotal thought run the show?
Maybe the Assembly will be smart enough to change this clearly illogical restriction.

An employee who was discharged, threatened, penalized, or in any other manner discriminated or retaliated against because such employee used any legally protected absence pursuant to federal, local, or state law will soon be able to bring a lawsuit against their employer now that S1958A has passed both the NYS Assembly & Senate.
In fact, such an employee will have 2 years after the violation to sue and recover lost compensation and damages, liquidated damages of up to $20,000, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. Plus, the Court can order rehiring or reinstatement and restoration of seniority. Alternatively, in lieu of reinstatement, an award of front pay can be awarded.
Employers better learn and provide legal days off ASAP.
Any crime victim who was depicted in a still or video image, which was disseminated or published, will soon be able to sue the disseminator or publisher for injunctive relief, punitive damages, compensatory damages and reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees.
