BROUK -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern- ment Operations AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to including correctional facilities and local correctional facilities as publicly-assisted housing accommodations for purposes of the division of human rights THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. Whereas recent judicial opinions have created confusion regarding the status of correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies as subjects of the jurisdiction of the New York human rights law, the legislature hereby finds and declares, for the purposes of the human rights law and the division of human rights, the services provided by law enforcement officers are public accommodations, correctional facilities and local correctional facilities are housing accommodations, and law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities and local correctional facilities are subject to the jurisdiction of the human rights law. § 2. Subdivision 10 of section 292 of the executive law, as added by chapter 340 of the laws of 1955, is amended to read as follows: 10. The term "housing accommodation" includes any building, structure, or portion thereof which is used or occupied or is intended, arranged or designed to be used or occupied, as the home, residence or sleeping place of one or more human beings, INCLUDING ANY TYPE OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITY OR LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY. § 3. Section 292 of the executive law is amended by adding a new subdivision 42 to read as follows: 42. THE TERMS "CORRECTIONAL FACILITY" AND "LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILI- TY" SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION TWO OF THE CORRECTION LAW. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD00223-04-3 S. 6611 2
