Albany, N.Y. New York lawmakers put the finishing touches on a piece of legislation mandating extensive new workplace health and safety protections in response to the COVID crisis.
The New York Health and Essential Rights Act, or NY HERO Act, sponsored by state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D- Queens) and Assemblywoman Karines Reyes (D- Bronx), calls for fines against businesses that fail to adopt and enact new standards to protect workers and stem the spread of coronavirus or other airborne diseases.
