NEW YORK TO EXTEND STATUTE OF LIM­I­TA­TIONS FOR DIS­CRIM­I­NATION COM­PLAINTS

By Luke Parsnow New York State
PUBLISHED 3:54 PM ET Feb. 14, 2024 PUBLISHED 3:54 PM EST Feb. 14, 2024

The statute of limitations for New Yorkers who experience illegal discrimination
is about to be extended from one year to three years, Gov. Kathy Hochul's office
said Wednesday.

The legislation setting the new statute of limitations was signed into law by
Hochul back in November and takes effect on Thursday.

Victims can file a complaint with the state Division of Human Rights.

“New York State remains committed to promoting safety, dignity, and respect for
survivors as the tide of hate rises across our country," Hochul said in a
statement. "This new statute of limitations adds another layer to our collective
responsibility to protect one another and create an environment that makes
survivors feel safe.”

Incidents occurring on or before Wednesday would still require a claim to be
filed within one year of the incident, or three years for sexual harassment in
employment. 

“This bill provides a more reasonable window of time for survivors of
discrimination to bring their claim forward. While a three-year statute of
limitations for sexual harassment in employment has been in effect since 2020,
today’s amendment applies to all forms of discrimination under the State Human
Rights Law," state Division of Human Rights Commissioner Maria Imperial said.
"It significantly broadens the rights of all survivors of discrimination and
helps raise the responsibility and liability of employers, housing providers,
public accommodations and educational institutions to abide by the State Human
Rights Law at all times."
