§ 290. Purposes of article.
 1. This article shall be known as the "Human Rights Law".

 2. It shall be deemed an exercise of the police power of the state for the
protection of the public welfare, health and peace of the people of this
state, and in fulfillment of the provisions of the constitution of this
state concerning civil rights.

 3. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the state has the
responsibility to act to assure that every individual within this state is
afforded an equal opportunity to enjoy a full and productive life and that
the failure to provide such equal opportunity, whether because of
discrimination, prejudice, intolerance or inadequate education, training,
housing or health care
not only threatens the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants but
menaces the institutions and foundation of a free democratic state and
threatens the peace, order, health, safety and
general welfare of the state and its inhabitants.

A division in the executive department is hereby created to encourage
programs designed to insure that every individual shall have an equal
opportunity to participate fully in the economic, cultural and intellectual
life of the state; to
encourage and promote the development and execution by all persons within
the state of such state programs; to eliminate and prevent discrimination
in employment, in places of public accommodation, resort or amusement, in
educational institutions, in public services, in housing accommodations, in
commercial space and in credit transactions and to take other actions
against discrimination as herein provided; and the division established
hereunder is hereby given general
jurisdiction and power for such purposes.

298-a. Application of article to certain acts committed outside the state
of New York.

 1. The provisions of this article shall apply as hereinafter provided to
an act committed outside this state against a resident of this state or
against a corporation organized under the laws of this state or authorized
to do business in this state, if such act would constitute an unlawful
discriminatory practice if committed within this state.

 2. If a resident person or domestic corporation violates any provision of
this article by virtue of the provisions of this section, this article
shall apply to such person or corporation in the same manner and to the
same extent as such provisions would have applied had such act been
committed within this state except that the penal provisions of such
article shall not be applicable.

 3. If a non-resident person or foreign corporation violates any provision
of this article by virtue of the provisions of this section, such person or
corporation shall be prohibited from transacting any business within this
state...
