Local Law 36 of 2011 (cyberbullying)

This legislation required the Human Rights Commission to work with others to develop educational materials dealing with cyberbullying. It did not proscribe any conduct, nor did it create any new enforcment mechanisms. Note: “Cyberbullying” as defined in the legislation, if engaged in because of protected class status, is harassment of the type already prohibited by the employment, housing, and public accommodations provisions of section 8-107 of the statute.
