 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 5411--A

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 13, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. BRONSON -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Labor -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted
 as amended and recommitted to said committee

 AN ACT to amend the labor law and the executive law, in relation to
 enacting the "anti-waiver of employment rights act"

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "anti-waiver of employment rights act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and intent. 1. The legislature finds and
 4 declares that it has always been its intention that the rights provided
 5 under the labor law and the human rights law be mandatory and non-waiva-
 6 ble through private agreement. The legislature further finds and
 7 declares that it is the policy of this state that workers be permitted
 8 to enforce these rights collectively, including through article 9 of the
 9 civil practice law and rules. However, some courts have misconstrued
 10 these statutes as permitting waivers of these statutory rights.
 11 2. In light of these erroneous decisions, some employers have taken
 12 advantage of these decisions to require employees to sign waivers that
 13 purport to contractually shorten their statute of limitations for bring-
 14 ing claims under the labor law or human rights law, or that purport to
 15 waive other rights that employees have under the labor law and the human
 16 rights law, as well as procedural mechanisms to enforce those rights
 17 collectively, such as article 9 of the civil practice law and rules.
 18 Such purported waivers have always been and continue to be against
 19 public policy.
