 Introduced by M. of A. SIMON, CRUZ, DAVILA, SANTABARBARA, TAYLOR,
 WEPRIN, LEVENBERG, ZACCARO, ALVAREZ, REYES -- read once and referred

 AN ACT to establish the Marshall plan for moms interagency task force;
 and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration there-
 of

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that any relief
 2 and long-term recovery from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandem-
 3 ic must recognize the disproportionate burden mothers have weathered.
 4 Women, especially mothers, have faced the brunt of the economic chal-
 5 lenges of the pandemic due to social barriers and policy failures that
 6 have been compounded by enduring racism and gender injustices, including
 7 the lack of care infrastructure, lack of family-supportive workplaces,
 8 and gender and racial pay inequities.
 9 Women continue to face unjust gender and racial wage gaps, and are
 10 overrepresented in low-wage jobs, despite their gains in workforce
 11 participation. Asian-American and Pacific Islander women, particularly
 12 Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander women, get paid as little as $0.50
 13 for every dollar a White man makes. Black women make only $0.63 for
 14 every dollar a White man makes, and as a result may lose $946,000 in
 15 their lifetimes. Latina women earn $0.55 for every dollar earned by a
 16 White man, and as a result may lose over $1,100,000 in wages over the
 17 course of a 40-year career. Native American women are paid $0.60 for
 18 every dollar a White man makes and are murdered at 10 times the rate of
 19 the national average, even though financial independence and security
 20 can increase chances of escaping violence for these women. Women's wages
 21 are key to their families' economic security and survival. Across the
 22 country, mothers are breadwinners in almost half of families with chil-
 23 dren under 18, even though mothers face a greater pay gap than women as

 1 a whole. Even prior to the pandemic, working mothers faced continued
 2 biases and stigmas in the workplace that caregiving responsibilities
 3 will negatively impact their work performance.
 4 Women have suffered the majority of pandemic-related job losses.
 5 Since February 2020, women have lost over 5,400,000 net jobs and account
 6 for 55% of overall net job loss since the beginning of the crisis. Women
 7 of color are experiencing higher rates of job loss than White women.
 8 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics January 2021 unemployment
 9 data, the jobless rate for Black women and Latina women aged 20 and over
 10 is over 60% higher than their White counterparts. Asian Americans
 11 recorded the highest jobless rates among women in the last 6 months of
 12 2020, even though before the pandemic
