Preserves the right to a jury trial for certain actions

This bill preserves the right to a jury trial for individuals filing human rights lawsuits under New York law that seek equitable relief (such as court orders or injunctions). It specifically ensures that people suing for discrimination in employment or housing - where they request non-monetary remedies - can still demand a jury trial, even if they initially filed a complaint with a human rights agency. The law amends existing procedures to prevent administrative processes from automatically waiving this constitutional right. It directly affects plaintiffs in discrimination cases who pursue equitable remedies through court. The change applies to both state and local human rights law actions.
