 AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules and the executive law,
 in relation to jury awards for unlawful discriminatory practices
 relating to employment

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision (a) of rule 4404 of the civil practice law and
 2 rules, such rule as renumbered by chapter 315 of the laws of 1962, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 (a) Motion after trial where jury required. After a trial of a cause
 5 of action or issue triable of right by a jury, upon the motion of any
 6 party or on its own initiative, the court may set aside a verdict or any
 7 judgment entered thereon and direct that judgment be entered in favor of
 8 a party entitled to judgment as a matter of law or it may order a new
 9 trial of a cause of action or separable issue where the verdict is
 10 contrary to the weight of the evidence, in the interest of justice or
 11 where the jury cannot agree after being kept together for as long as is
 12 deemed reasonable by the court. No court shall order a new trial on the
 13 ground that the jury award was excessive, or otherwise act to reduce the
 14 jury's award in a case involving an unlawful discriminatory practice
 15 under section two hundred ninety-six of the executive law relating to
 16 employment, including a claim by a non-employee under section two
 17 hundred ninety-six-d of the executive law, or under any analogous local
 18 or municipal human rights law, if applicable, without fully satisfying
 19 the pertinent standards set forth in paragraph two of subdivision (c) of

 10 supreme court, a county court or an appellate term determining an
 11 appeal. The notice of appeal from an order directing summary judgment,
 12 or directing judgment on a motion addressed to the pleadings, shall be
