New York, N.Y. (April 5, 2021) - The New York
City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) is considered to be one of the most
progressive discrimination laws in the nation. Earlier this year,
the New York City Council passed a bill which expands the scope of
the New York City Fair Chance Act (FCA), more commonly known as the
"ban-the-box" law. The FCA prohibits most New York City
employers from inquiring about an applicant's criminal history
until after the employer extends a conditional offer of employment.
