ABSTRACT OF PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE, AN AMENDMENT
Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment
This proposal amends Article 1, Section 11 of the New York Constitution. Section 11 now protects against unequal treatment based on race, color, creed, and religion. The proposal will amend the act to also protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy. The amendment allows laws to prevent or undo past discrimination.
FORM OF SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE, AN AMENDMENT
Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment
This proposal would protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy. It also protects against unequal treatment based on reproductive healthcare and autonomy.
A “YES” vote puts these protections in the New York State Constitution. A “NO” vote leaves these protections out of the State Constitution.
We hereby certify that the foregoing text of Ballot Proposal One, an Amendment, is a correct copy of the original as certified to be on file in the Department of State.
This certification replaces and supersedes the Certification issued on July 31, 2024.
