Council Member Cabán proposes a potential modification to Intro 984, suggesting raising the employee threshold for covered companies from 25 to 100 employees. Deputy Commissioner Ward acknowledges this change could ease some of their concerns about implementation.
- Raising the threshold could address some of CCHR's operational concerns
- Ward notes that while determining the number of affected companies isn't impossible, CCHR lacks readily available data on this

May I briefly follow-up, Chair?
0:45:03
Thank you.
0:45:04
I appreciate it.
0:45:06
I mean, one, I I get the sense that it it doesn't seem like it would be impossible, to figure out how many companies, employers would be affected by this.
0:45:17
And I do want to highlight the fact that there are other agencies that would be involved here.
0:45:21
But more specifically, would raising the floor for coverage from companies with 25 employees to 100 employees ease some of those, concerns?

I think likely.
0:45:32
And I don't think it would be impossible.
0:45:33
I think I'm I'm speaking from the perspective of data that we have or are aware of.
