NY S04093

Expands the definition of "place of public accommodation, resort or amusement" to explicitly include facilities operated by state or local government entities, not just private entities.

Broadens the scope of public areas covered to include "any public areas of any building or structure," removing the previous limitation to buildings occupied by multiple tenants.

Removes public libraries from the exemption list, making them subject to the human rights law's anti-discrimination provisions.

For government entities, requires removal of architectural, communication, and transportation barriers in existing facilities where removal does not constitute an undue burden, with exceptions for historic properties and where alternative compliance methods exist.

Takes effect on the one hundred twentieth day after the act becomes law.
