PICHARDO, ORTIZ, DICKENS, DE LA ROSA, SIMON, ARROYO, REYES, DeSTEFANO, D'URSO, GLICK, GOTTFRIED, BARRON, NIOU, JACOBSON -- read once and referred to the Committee on Labor -- recom- mitted to the Committee on Labor in accordance with Assembly Rule 3, sec. 2 -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to discrimi- nation and retaliation against employees The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Section 120 of the workers' compensation law, as amended by 2 chapter 61 of the laws of 1989, the section heading as amended by 3 section 31 of part SS of chapter 54 of the laws of 2016 and the opening 4 paragraph as amended by chapter 105 of the laws of 2019, is amended to 5 read as follows: 6 § 120. Discrimination and retaliation against employees. It shall be 7 unlawful for any employer or his or her duly authorized agent to 8 discharge or fail to reinstate pursuant to section two hundred three-b 9 of this chapter, or in any other manner discriminate against an employee 10 as to his or her employment or retaliate against an employee because 11 such employee has claimed or attempted to claim compensation from such 12 employer, requested a claim form for injuries received in the course of 13 employment, or claimed or attempted to claim any benefits provided under 14 this chapter or because he or she has testified or is about to testify 15 in a proceeding under this chapter and no other valid reason is shown to 16 exist for such action by the employer. As used in this section, to 17 discriminate or retaliate against an employee includes threatening to 18 contact or contacting United States immigration authorities or otherwise 19 reporting or threatening to report an employee's suspected citizenship 20 or immigration status or the suspected citizenship or immigration status 21 of an employee's family or household member, as defined in subdivision EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD11808-02-0A. 8147--A 2 1 two of section four hundred fifty-nine-a of the social services law, to 2 a federal, state or local agency. 3 Any complaint alleging such an unlawful discriminatory practice must 4 be filed within two years of the commission of such practice. Upon find- 5 ing that an employer has violated this section, the board shall make an 6 order that any employee so discriminated or retaliated against shall be 7 restored to employment or otherwise restored to the position or privi- 8 leges he or she would have had but for the discrimination or retaliation 9 and shall be compensated by his or her employer for any loss of compen- 10 sation arising out of such discrimination or retaliation together with 11 such fees or allowances for services rendered by an attorney or licensed 12 representative as fixed by the board. Any employer who violates this 13 section shall be liable to a penalty of not less than [one] five hundred 14 dollars or more than two thousand five hundred dollars, as may be deter- 15 mined by the board. All such penalties shall be paid into the state 16 treasury. All penalties, compensation and fees or allowances shall be 17 paid solely by the employer. The employer alone and not his or her 18 carrier shall be liable for such penalties and payments. Any provision 19 in an insurance policy undertaking to relieve the employer from liabil- 20 ity for such penalties and payments shall be void. 21 An employer found to be in violation of this section and the aggrieved 22 employee must report to the board as to the manner of the employer's 23 compliance within thirty days of receipt of a final determination. In 24 case of failure to report on compliance, or failure to comply with an 25 order or penalty of the board within thirty days after the order or 26 notice of penalty is served, except where timely application to the 27 board for a modification, rescission or review of such order or penalty 28 has been filed under section twenty-three of this chapter, the chair in 29 any such case or, on the chair's consent, any party may enforce the 30 order or penalty in a like manner as an award of compensation. 31 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall 32 have become a law.
