New York A04992 amends the executive law to clarify the standard for intentional discrimination or retaliation claims.

New York A04992 amends the executive law by adding a new subdivision to Section 296. It requires individuals bringing intentional discrimination or retaliation claims to prove that an unlawful motivation was a motivating factor, but not necessarily the sole motivating factor or a "but-for cause" of the challenged treatment. This change aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the motivations behind such claims.
