Establishes the LGBTQ+ advisory board

This bill creates a new LGBTQ+ advisory board within the New York state government to provide guidance and support for the LGBTQ+ community. The board will consist of twelve members, all of whom must identify as LGBTQ+, appointed by the governor, state legislative leaders, and minority leaders, while excluding current government officials. These unpaid members will conduct research, gather data, and offer recommendations to the governor and state agencies on policies affecting economic, cultural, and educational needs. Additionally, the board is authorized to work with agencies to develop potential legislation and must submit an annual report detailing its activities and suggestions.
