Making good on his promise to work toward eradicating workplace sexual harassment and assaults in Trenton and elsewhere, Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday announced legislation to overhaul the state’s anti-workplace harassment laws for both public and private employers.

The bill, drafted following a yearlong review of New Jersey’s discrimination laws by the state Division on Civil Rights and the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and released at the same time as the division’s report on the subject, would provide guidance on what constitutes a hostile work environment, require that all employers conduct employee training on unlawful discrimination and harassment, and expand the pool of workers eligible for New Jersey Law Against Discrimination protections, including an extended statute of limitations in certain LAD cases.
