Pols: New harass regs

CITY POLS are looking to toughen policies on sexual harassment when it comes to the city workforce — saying every agency should be required to disclose how many complaints they get.

Councilman Mark Levine and others are also pushing to change the Council’s rules — so that all harassment complaints against Council staffers are sent to the body’s ethics committee.

Levine (D-Manhattan) is drafting legislation that would require each city agency to report every six months on how many sexual harassment complaints they have received.

They’d also have to reveal the type of complaints, detailing whether they are physical in nature, as well as the outcome of the cases.

Levine is pushing for a change to the Council’s own rules, so every sexual harassment complaint would trigger an investigation by the Committee on Standards and Ethics.
