S 9832 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Enacts the New York state fashion workers act

This bill establishes the New York State Fashion Workers Act to regulate model management companies by requiring them to register with the state and adhere to specific duties and prohibitions. The law defines key terms such as "model," "client," and "digital replica," and mandates that companies provide clear, plain-language summaries of employment terms known as deal memos. To ensure financial responsibility, larger firms must post a surety bond, while all registrants must pay fees and disclose ownership information to the department. Violations of these rules can lead to penalties and legal procedures, aiming to create a more transparent and accountable environment for fashion industry workers.
