Council Member Williams asks about the OMB cost estimate for Intro 984, which suggests CCHR would need $310,000 annually for 3 new staff members in a pay and workplace equity unit. Deputy Commissioner JoAnn Kamuf Ward responds to the inquiry.
- OMB estimates $310,000 annually for 3 new staff members
- CCHR has never created a specialized unit for implementing specific portions of the human rights law
- CCHR currently lacks expertise for the type of work anticipated in Intro 984
