Council Member Williams asks about other important developments related to employment discrimination inquiries and complaints in recent years. Deputy Commissioner Carroll highlights several key areas of focus and change.
- Anticipated increase in criminal conviction and arrest record inquiries due to Fair Chance Housing amendment
- Continued growth in gender-based harassment reports due to extended statute of limitations (now 3 years)
- Salary transparency remains a focus area for inquiries and compliance
- Legislative changes often lead to increased inquiries and education efforts by CCHR staff

So I know you said that disability and retaliation are the top 2.
0:40:32
Do you think there are any other important developments related to discrimination, employment related discrimination inquiries, and complaints in recent years.
0:40:42
So, I mean, you said, Sally, transparency.
0:40:44
Maybe you kind of, like, already answered this, but just looking for anything else that you can provide around important developments in employee related discriminations outside of disability retaliation?
0:40:57
And I, again, suppose, like, Sally transparency right now in this moment is might be mixed into that.

I think I would imagine that
Hillary Scrivani

with, the amendment to the statute related to

Fair Chance Housing, that we'll see another uptick in, I think I would imagine that with, the amendment to the statute related to Fair Chance Housing that we'll see another uptick in, criminal conviction and arrest record as we do the education around that piece.
0:41:17
And I think the we've continued to see reports on gender based harassment grow because of the statute of limitations extension.
0:41:25
So, it's not necessarily reflected in the complaints filed, but in terms of what we're seeing, more people are able to file those complaints because of the extension of the statute of limitations to 3 years for those claims.

Thank you.
0:41:39
I know some of my colleagues have questions and need to go.
0:41:42
So I will pause on my questions, to turn it over to council member Caban who has some questions on her bill.
