Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie Announce Additional Hearing to Address Sexual Harassment in New York

On February 13, the Senate and Assembly held a joint public hearing in Albany on sexual harassment to discuss ways to best address this serious issue. No industry is free from the scourge of sexual harassment, assault, and inappropriate workplace behavior. The testimony provided during the previous hearing was extremely important and we continue to seek legislative solutions.

On May, 24 we will hold an additional hearing in New York City to continue the conversation about this important topic. We remain committed to engage in meaningful discussions, to listen to those who have stepped up to speak out on this issue, share their experiences, and to use their testimony to help guide future actions to address sexual harassment.
