BILL NUMBER: S2736 SPONSOR: SKOUFIS TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to eliminating a disincentive for whistleblowers PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Whistleblowers in NY are currently barred from bringing any other legal claims they may have if they choose to bring a whistleblower claim. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill eliminates a self-contradictory provision in Labor Law § 740 which purports not to diminish the rights of whistleblowers but then says that they cannot assert any other claims if they bring a whistle- blower claim, thus diminishing the rights of whistleblowers in compar- ison to other citizens.
