Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act - Climate surveys and action plans to combat sexual harassment.

A Local Law in relation to climate surveys and action plans to combat sexual harassment and equal employment opportunity violations at city agencies

This bill would require the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to develop a climate survey to be administered on a voluntary basis at all city agencies to ascertain the general awareness and knowledge of the city’s equal employment opportunity (“EEO”) policy, including but not limited to sexual harassment policies and prevention. The survey will be followed by a report to the mayor and speaker with the results. Based on these results DCAS shall work with each city agency to develop an action plan to address the results of the surveys to be incorporated into each agency’s annual EEO plan according to the following schedule: • Climate survey distribution: September 31, 2018 • Report on first survey: February 28, 2019 • Development of action plan: December 31, 2019 • Report on Action Plan: March 31, 2020 • 2nd survey distribution: July 31, 2020 • Report on second survey: December 31, 2021 • 2nd action plan development and report: December 31, 2022 On or before July 31, 2024 and on or before July 31 every four years thereafter, the survey will continued to be administered to all city employees.
