2023-S108 - Sponsor Memo
BILL NUMBER: S108 Revised 1/3/2023 SPONSOR: KRUEGER TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 11 of article 1 of the constitution, in relation to equal protection PURPOSE: New Yorkers deserve a constitution that recognizes that every person is entitled to equal rights and justice under the law regardless of who they are, whom they love, or what their families look like. Because the New York Constitution's Bill of Rights does not currently contain a comprehensive equal rights provision, a constitutional amendment is necessary to realize the promise of legal equality and justice for all New Yorkers and to create a clear mechanism to address and defend against violations of those rights. Our modern vision of equality demands comprehensive equal protection. Indeed, many individuals are themselves members of numerous communities, identities, and protected classes, and true equality and justice demand
