        AN ACT to amend the civil rights law, in relation to reporting  a  none-

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 79-n of the civil rights  law,  as
     2  added by chapter 227 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
     3    2.  Any person who intentionally selects a person or property for harm
     4  or causes damage to the property of another or causes physical injury or
     5  death to another or summons a police officer or  peace  officer  without
     6  reason  to  suspect  a  violation  of  the penal law, any other criminal
     7  conduct, or an imminent threat to a person or property, in whole  or  in
     8  substantial  part  because of a belief or perception regarding the race,
     9  color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious  practice,
    10  age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether
    11  the  belief or perception is correct, shall be liable, in a civil action
    12  or proceeding maintained by such individual or group of individuals, for
    13  injunctive relief, damages, or any other appropriate relief  in  law  or
    14  equity.  If  it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice
    15  that the respondent has, in fact, violated this section,  an  injunction
    16  may  be  issued  by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining any
    17  further violation, without requiring proof that any person has, in fact,
    18  been injured or damaged thereby. For the purposes of this subdivision, a
    19  person lacks reason to suspect a violation of the penal law,  any  other
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

     2  reasonable person would not suspect such violation, conduct, or threat.
     3    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
