NY ERA Proposed Ballot Measure Language – to be finalized July 26th
Proposition 1 - Adds Certain Protections to the State Bill of Rights
Adds anti-discrimination provisions to the State Constitution. Covers ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy. Also covers reproductive healthcare and autonomy.
A “YES” vote puts these protections against discrimination in the New York State Constitution.
A “NO” vote leaves these protections out of the State Constitution.
