§ 6. Affirmative action policy. The Speaker shall promulgate a policy

with respect to affirmative action, which shall, at a minimum:

(a)prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color,

creed, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, national origin,

disability, genetic predisposition or carrier status, marital status or

military status;

(b)appoint an affirmative action officer who shall report annually to

the Speaker;

(c)create an affirmative action advisory committee to assist the

affirmative action officer in the implementation of such policy;

(d)require that the human resources office of the Assembly undertake

recruitment of minority and protected-class individuals;

(e)establish a process for the resolution of complaints of

discrimination; and,

(f)create a system by which such policy is disseminated and enforced.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the repromulgation

of an affirmative action policy which is already in effect and which

meets the requirements of this rule. Copies of the affirmative action

policy promulgated hereunder shall be distributed to all members of the

Assembly and Assembly staff and shall be available to the public.
