NYS Hero Act
Governor Cuomo recently signed the New York Health & Essential Rights Act (HERO Act), making New York the first state in the nation to enact minimum requirements to prevent the spread of airborne infectious diseases, like COVID-19.  

Section 1 of the Act requires that employers prepare model safety plans as of June 4, 2021, and prohibits discrimination and retaliation against any employees who exercise their rights under the Act. 

Section 2, which becomes effective November 1, 2021, requires certain employers to establish joint workplace safety committees with their employees.

We will continue to share information about the NYS HERO Act as it become available.
