Despite a yea Assembly committee vote, a state bill that would make ethnic and religious slights actionable will not make it through the N.J. Legislature this session. The bill's sponsor said that he will take the bill off the table, for reintroduction, because he's been told that the Senate would not act on the bill this session. The bill is aimed at countering a state appellate court ruling, now before the N.J. Supreme Court, which found no cause of action for a worker taunted by anti-Semitic comments.

Despite a yea committee vote on Thursday, a bill that would make ethnic and religious slights actionable under New Jersey state discrimination law will not make it through the Legislature this session.
The bill is aimed at countering a New Jersey Appellate Division ruling last February that found no cause of action for a worker taunted by anti-Semitic comments. The Assembly Labor Committee voted 4-0 to pass A-4209, which would amend the Law Against Discrimination to create one.
