Adds "caregiver" as a protected class under New York's Human Rights Law, prohibiting employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations from discriminating in hiring, firing, compensation, or terms of employment

Defines "caregiver" as a person who provides daily care or supervision of a minor child (under 18) or a care recipient who is disabled or aged 65+, including those whose close association is equivalent to a family relationship

Requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for caregivers to meet the health, safety, education, or daily living needs of their minor child or care recipient, unless it causes undue hardship

Expands the definition of "reasonable accommodation" to include flexible scheduling, remote work, modified work schedules, part-time arrangements, job sharing, temporary transfers, predictable scheduling, and leave of absence

Extends caregiver protections to interns and prohibits harassment based on caregiver status, with the law taking effect 90 days after enactment
