Mayor Eric Adams signed a bill into law Friday banning weight and height discrimination in the workplace, public places and when individuals are applying for housing.
“We all deserve the same access to employment, housing and public accommodation regardless of our appearance and it shouldn’t matter how tall you are or how much you weigh,” said Adams during a City Hall-based press conference.
“When you’re looking for a job and you are out on our town or you are trying to get some form of accommodation or apartment to rent, you should not be treated differently.
