Requires the Olympic regional development authority, in consultation with the department of environmental conservation and division of human rights to develop an anti-bias and inclusion training to be completed by employees of such agencies annually.

This bill requires the Olympic Regional Development Authority to create an annual anti-bias and inclusion training program for its employees. The training will be developed in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Division of Human Rights. The goal is to promote awareness and understanding of bias and inclusion issues among staff.

Supporters of this bill would highlight its importance in fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace within the Olympic Regional Development Authority. They would argue that annual training can help reduce bias and discrimination, ultimately leading to a more diverse and representative environment that reflects the values of New York State.

Critics of this bill might argue that mandatory training programs can be seen as unnecessary or burdensome for employees. They could claim that such initiatives may not effectively address deeper systemic issues and could divert resources away from other important functions of the Olympic Regional Development Authority.
