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:

• On June 7, 2021, we explained how Employers Must Immediately Adopt an Airborne Infectious Disease Exposure Prevention Plan.
• Next, on August 31, 2021, we noticed that Emergency Regulation Released to Guide Employers on Immediately Complying with NY HERO Act.
• Next, on November 17, 2021, we advised Attention NY Businesses - Emergency Regulation Issued to Implement NY HERO Act's Exposure Prevention Standard.
• Then, on January 20, 2022, we explained that NYS DOS Publishes Emergency Regulations to Implement NY HERO Act Rules.

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.
