  S  2.  This  act enacts into law major components of legislation which
are necessary to implement the "Women's Equality act."   Each  component
is  wholly  contained within a Part identified as Parts A through J. The
effective date for each particular provision contained within such  Part
is  set  forth  in  the  last section of such Part. Any provision in any
section contained within a Part, including the  effective  date  of  the
Part,  which  makes  a  reference to section "of this act", when used in
connection with that particular component, shall be deemed to  mean  and
refer  to  the  corresponding  section of the Part in which it is found.
Section four of this act sets forth the general effective date  of  this
act.

                                 PART A

  Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 194 of the labor law, as added by
chapter 548 of the laws of 1966, is amended and three  new  subdivisions
2, 3 and 4 are added to read as follows:
  1.  No  employee  shall be paid a wage at a rate less than the rate at
which an employee of the opposite sex in the same establishment is  paid
for  equal  work on a job the performance of which requires equal skill,
effort and responsibility, and which is performed under similar  working
conditions,  except  where  payment  is  made pursuant to a differential
based on:
  a. a seniority system;
  b. a merit system;
  c. a  system  which  measures  earnings  by  quantity  or  quality  of
production; or
  d.  [any  other  factor  other than sex] A BONA FIDE FACTOR OTHER THAN
SEX, SUCH AS EDUCATION, TRAINING, OR EXPERIENCE.  SUCH FACTOR: (I) SHALL
NOT BE BASED UPON OR DERIVED FROM A SEX-BASED  DIFFERENTIAL  IN  COMPEN-
SATION  AND  (II)  SHALL  BE JOB-RELATED WITH RESPECT TO THE POSITION IN
QUESTION AND SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH BUSINESS NECESSITY. SUCH EXCEPTION
UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY WHEN THE EMPLOYEE DEMONSTRATES  (A)
THAT  AN  EMPLOYER  USES  A PARTICULAR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE THAT CAUSES A
DISPARATE IMPACT ON THE BASIS OF SEX, (B) THAT AN ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT
PRACTICE EXISTS THAT WOULD SERVE  THE  SAME  BUSINESS  PURPOSE  AND  NOT
PRODUCE  SUCH  DIFFERENTIAL,  AND  (C)  THAT THE EMPLOYER HAS REFUSED TO
ADOPT SUCH ALTERNATIVE PRACTICE.

A. 8070                             3

  2. FOR THE PURPOSE OF  SUBDIVISION  ONE  OF  THIS  SECTION,  "BUSINESS
NECESSITY"  SHALL BE DEFINED AS A FACTOR THAT BEARS A MANIFEST RELATION-
SHIP TO THE EMPLOYMENT IN QUESTION.
  3.  FOR  THE  PURPOSES  OF  SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION, EMPLOYEES
SHALL BE DEEMED TO WORK IN THE SAME ESTABLISHMENT IF THE EMPLOYEES  WORK
FOR  THE  SAME  EMPLOYER  AT WORKPLACES LOCATED IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHICAL
REGION, NO LARGER THAN A COUNTY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT POPULATION DISTRIB-
UTION, ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, AND/OR THE PRESENCE OF MUNICIPALITIES.
  4. (A) NO EMPLOYER SHALL PROHIBIT AN EMPLOYEE  FROM  INQUIRING  ABOUT,
DISCUSSING,  OR DISCLOSING THE WAGES OF SUCH EMPLOYEE OR ANOTHER EMPLOY-
EE.
  (B) AN EMPLOYER MAY, IN A WRITTEN POLICY PROVIDED  TO  ALL  EMPLOYEES,
ESTABLISH  REASONABLE  WORKPLACE  AND  WORKDAY  LIMITATIONS ON THE TIME,
PLACE AND MANNER FOR INQUIRES ABOUT, DISCUSSION OF, OR THE DISCLOSURE OF
WAGES. SUCH LIMITATIONS SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH  STANDARDS  PROMULGATED
BY  THE  COMMISSIONER  AND  SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OTHER STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS. SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY INCLUDE PROHIBITING AN EMPLOYEE  FROM
DISCUSSING  OR  DISCLOSING  THE  WAGES  OF ANOTHER EMPLOYEE WITHOUT SUCH
EMPLOYEE'S PRIOR PERMISSION.
  (C) NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL REQUIRE AN EMPLOYEE TO  DISCLOSE
HIS  OR HER WAGES.  THE FAILURE OF AN EMPLOYEE TO ADHERE TO SUCH REASON-
ABLE LIMITATIONS IN SUCH WRITTEN POLICY SHALL BE AN AFFIRMATIVE  DEFENSE
TO  ANY CLAIMS MADE AGAINST AN EMPLOYER UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION, PROVIDED
THAT ANY ADVERSE EMPLOYMENT ACTION TAKEN BY THE EMPLOYER WAS FOR FAILURE
TO ADHERE TO SUCH REASONABLE  LIMITATIONS  AND  NOT  FOR  MERE  INQUIRY,
DISCUSSION  OR  DISCLOSURE  OF  WAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH REASONABLE
LIMITATIONS IN SUCH WRITTEN POLICY.
  (D) THIS PROHIBITION SHALL NOT APPLY TO INSTANCES IN WHICH AN EMPLOYEE
WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE WAGE INFORMATION OF OTHER EMPLOYEES AS A  PART  OF
SUCH  EMPLOYEE'S  ESSENTIAL  JOB  FUNCTIONS  DISCLOSES THE WAGES OF SUCH
OTHER EMPLOYEES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS TO  SUCH
INFORMATION,  UNLESS  SUCH  DISCLOSURE  IS IN RESPONSE TO A COMPLAINT OR
CHARGE, OR IN FURTHERANCE OF AN INVESTIGATION, PROCEEDING,  HEARING,  OR
ACTION  UNDER  THIS CHAPTER, INCLUDING AN INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY THE
EMPLOYER.
  (E) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS  OF
AN  EMPLOYEE  PROVIDED  UNDER  ANY  OTHER PROVISION OF LAW OR COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
  S 2. Subdivision 1-a of section 198 of the labor law,  as  amended  by
chapter 564 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
  1-a.  On behalf of any employee paid less than the wage to which he or
she is entitled under the provisions of this article,  the  commissioner
may  bring  any legal action necessary, including administrative action,
to collect such claim and as part of such legal action, in  addition  to
any other remedies and penalties otherwise available under this article,
the  commissioner  shall  assess against the employer the full amount of
any such underpayment, and an additional amount as  liquidated  damages,
unless  the  employer  proves  a good faith basis for believing that its
underpayment of wages was in compliance with the law. Liquidated damages
shall be calculated by the commissioner as  no  more  than  one  hundred
percent of the total amount of wages found to be due, EXCEPT SUCH LIQUI-
DATED  DAMAGES MAY BE UP TO THREE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
THE WAGES FOUND TO BE DUE FOR A WILLFUL VIOLATION OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED
NINETY-FOUR OF THIS ARTICLE. In any action instituted in the courts upon
a wage claim by an employee or the commissioner in  which  the  employee
prevails, the court shall allow such employee to recover the full amount

A. 8070                             4

of  any underpayment, all reasonable attorney's fees, prejudgment inter-
est as required under the civil practice law and rules, and, unless  the
employer  proves  a good faith basis to believe that its underpayment of
wages was in compliance with the law, an additional amount as liquidated
damages  equal  to  one hundred percent of the total amount of the wages
found to be due, EXCEPT SUCH LIQUIDATED  DAMAGES  MAY  BE  UP  TO  THREE
HUNDRED  PERCENT  OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE WAGES FOUND TO BE DUE FOR A
WILLFUL VIOLATION OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR OF THIS ARTICLE.
  S 3. The department of labor and the division of  human  rights  shall
make  training  available  to  assist  employers in developing training,
policies and procedures to address discrimination and harassment in  the
workplace  including,  but  not limited to issues relating to pregnancy,
familial status, pay equity and sexual harassment.  Such training  shall
take  into  account the needs of employers of various sizes. The depart-
ment and division shall make such training available through,  including
but  not  limited to, online means.  In developing such training materi-
als, the department and division shall afford the public an  opportunity
to submit comments on such training.
  S  4.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided, however, that  the  commissioner  of  labor
shall  take  actions necessary to provide for the promulgation of stand-
ards pursuant to subdivision 4 of section 194 of the labor law, as added
by section one of this  act,  prior  to  this  act  taking  effect;  and
provided  further, however, that the department of labor and division of
human rights shall take actions necessary to establish training pursuant
to section three of this act prior to this act taking effect.

                                 PART B

  5. The term "employer" does not include any employer with  fewer  than
four  persons  in  his  or her employ except as set forth in section two
hundred ninety-six-b of this [title] ARTICLE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN
THE CASE OF AN ACTION FOR DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEX PURSUANT TO SUBDI-
VISION ONE OF SECTION TWO  HUNDRED  NINETY-SIX  OF  THIS  ARTICLE,  WITH
RESPECT TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT ONLY, THE TERM "EMPLOYER" SHALL INCLUDE ALL
EMPLOYERS WITHIN THE STATE.
  S  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law.

                                 PART C

  Section 1. Subdivision 10 of section 297  of  the  executive  law,  as
added  by  section  17  of part D of chapter 405 of the laws of 1999, is
amended to read as follows:
  10. With respect to ALL cases of HOUSING  DISCRIMINATION  AND  housing
RELATED  CREDIT  discrimination [only] in an action or proceeding at law
under this section or section two hundred ninety-eight of this  article,
the  commissioner  or  the  court may in its discretion award reasonable
attorney's fees to any prevailing or substantially prevailing party; AND
WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM OF EMPLOYMENT OR CREDIT DISCRIMINATION WHERE SEX
IS A BASIS OF SUCH DISCRIMINATION, IN AN ACTION  OR  PROCEEDING  AT  LAW
UNDER  THIS SECTION OR SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINETY-EIGHT OF THIS ARTICLE,
THE COMMISSIONER OR THE COURT MAY IN  ITS  DISCRETION  AWARD  REASONABLE

A. 8070                             5

ATTORNEY'S  FEES  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  SUCH  CLAIM TO ANY PREVAILING PARTY;
provided, however, that a prevailing respondent or defendant in order to
recover such reasonable attorney's fees must make  a  motion  requesting
such  fees and show that the action or proceeding brought was frivolous;
and further provided that in a proceeding brought  in  the  division  of
human rights, the commissioner may only award attorney's fees as part of
a  final  order after a public hearing held pursuant to subdivision four
of this section. In no case shall attorney's  fees  be  awarded  to  the
division,  nor  shall the division be liable to a prevailing or substan-
tially prevailing party for attorney's fees, except in a case  in  which
the  division  is  a  party to the action or the proceeding in the divi-
sion's capacity as an employer.  IN CASES OF EMPLOYMENT  DISCRIMINATION,
A  RESPONDENT SHALL ONLY BE LIABLE FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES UNDER THIS SUBDI-
VISION IF THE RESPONDENT HAS BEEN FOUND LIABLE FOR HAVING  COMMITTED  AN
UNLAWFUL  DISCRIMINATORY  PRACTICE.  In  order  to  find  the  action or
proceeding to be frivolous, the court or the commissioner must  find  in
writing one or more of the following:
  (a)  the  action or proceeding was commenced, used or continued in bad
faith, solely to delay or prolong the resolution of the litigation or to
harass or maliciously injure another; or
  (b) the action or proceeding was commenced or continued in  bad  faith
without  any reasonable basis and could not be supported by a good faith
argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law.  If
the  action  or  proceeding  was promptly discontinued when the party or
attorney learned or should have learned that the  action  or  proceeding
lacked such a reasonable basis, the court may find that the party or the
attorney did not act in bad faith.
  S  2.  Paragraph  c of subdivision 7 of section 296-a of the executive
law, as amended by chapter 632 of the laws of 1976, is amended  to  read
as follows:
  c.  If  the  superintendent finds that a violation of this section has
occurred, the superintendent shall issue an order which shall do one  or
more of the following:
  (1)  impose a fine in an amount not to exceed ten thousand dollars for
each violation, to be paid to the people of the state of New York;
  (2) award  compensatory  damages  to  the  person  aggrieved  by  such
violation;
  (3)  FOR  A  CLAIM OF SEX DISCRIMINATION ONLY, AWARD REASONABLE ATTOR-
NEY'S FEES ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH CLAIM TO ANY PREVAILING PARTY; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT A PREVAILING RESPONDENT OR DEFENDANT IN ORDER  TO  RECOVER
SUCH  REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES MUST MAKE A MOTION REQUESTING SUCH FEES
AND SHOW THAT THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT WAS FRIVOLOUS. IN NO CASE
SHALL ATTORNEY'S FEES BE  AWARDED  TO  THE  DEPARTMENT,  NOR  SHALL  THE
DEPARTMENT BE LIABLE TO A PREVAILING PARTY FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES. IN ORDER
TO  FIND  THE  ACTION  OR PROCEEDING TO BE FRIVOLOUS, THE SUPERINTENDENT
MUST FIND IN WRITING ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:
  (A) THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS COMMENCED, USED OR CONTINUED  IN  BAD
FAITH, SOLELY TO DELAY OR PROLONG THE RESOLUTION OF THE LITIGATION OR TO
HARASS OR MALICIOUSLY INJURE ANOTHER; OR
  (B)  THE  ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS COMMENCED OR CONTINUED IN BAD FAITH
WITHOUT ANY REASONABLE BASIS AND COULD NOT BE SUPPORTED BY A GOOD  FAITH
ARGUMENT  FOR AN EXTENSION, MODIFICATION OR REVERSAL OF EXISTING LAW. IF
THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS PROMPTLY DISCONTINUED  WHEN  THE  PARTY  OR
ATTORNEY  LEARNED  OR  SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THAT THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING
LACKED SUCH A REASONABLE BASIS, THE COURT MAY FIND THAT THE PARTY OR THE
ATTORNEY DID NOT ACT IN BAD FAITH.

A. 8070                             6

  (4) require the regulated creditor  to  cease  and  desist  from  such
unlawful discriminatory practices;
  [(4)] (5) require the regulated creditor to take such further affirma-
tive  action as will effectuate the purposes of this section, including,
but not limited to, granting the credit which was  the  subject  of  the
complaint.
  S  3.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law, and shall apply to actions commenced on or after such
date.

RELATED  TO  PREGNANCY  OR  CHILDBIRTH  THAT  INHIBITS THE EXERCISE OF A
