Relates to including the basis of religious attire and facial hair in the definition of unlawful discriminatory practice

This bill expands New York's anti-discrimination law to explicitly protect religious attire and facial hair. It makes it illegal for businesses like restaurants, stores, or hotels to refuse service or deny accommodations based on a person's religious practice of wearing specific clothing or maintaining facial hair. The law now includes these elements under the protected category of "creed" in existing discrimination protections. This directly affects public businesses and individuals whose religious observances require such practices.
