Nassau’s local law on transgender athletes at county park events is preempted by the Human Rights Law and Civil Rights Law
2026 NY Slip Op 06427
Holding The local law prohibiting the use of county park property for sporting events that allow biological males to compete in women’s categories is invalid because it is preempted by the New York State Human Rights Law and Civil Rights Law § 40-c. The court held that the law discriminates based on gender identity or expression, which is expressly prohibited for places of public accommodation.
the local law's permitting scheme conflicts with, and is invalid as preempted by, the NYSHRL and Civil Rights Law § 40-c
