Mayor Eric Adams signed into law a bill Friday that aims to prevent discrimination on the basis of weight and height.
The legislation, which was passed by the city council May 11, would protect New Yorkers from discrimination on the basis of weight and height when it comes to employment, housing and access to public accommodations. The legislation provides New Yorkers with the same protections as what’s afforded to them when it comes to race, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation.
