The mayor signed legislation passed by city lawmakers that would add protected categories for height and weight.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation Friday that will ban discrimination based on body size by adding weight and height to the list of protected categories such as race, sex and religion.
Adams, a Democrat who published a book about reversing his diabetes through a plant-based diet, said the ordinance"will help level the playing field for all New Yorkers, create more inclusive workplaces and living environments, and protect against discrimination."Exemptions under the ordinance, which the city council passed this month, include cases in which an individual's height or weight could prevent them from performing essential functions of a job.
"The extent of the impact and cost of this legislation has not been fully considered," Kathy Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City, said in a statement.
