 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 3 laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
 4 a. Such model sexual harassment prevention training program shall be
 5 interactive and include: (i) an explanation of sexual harassment
 6 consistent with guidance issued by the department in consultation with
 7 the division of human rights; (ii) examples of conduct that would
 8 constitute unlawful sexual harassment; (iii) information concerning the
 9 federal and state statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment and

 11 tion concerning employees' rights of redress and all available forums

 14 bystanders to recognize potentially problematic behaviors and to moti-
 15 vate such bystanders to take appropriate action when observing problem-
 16 atic behaviors; provided, however, bystander intervention training shall
 17 create no duty to intervene or impose any liability for the failure to
 18 intervene.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 20 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
 21 ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
 22 tation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and
 23 completed on or before such effective date.
